Introduction to Studio Lighting
- Oct 10 at 5:30
- Nov 7 @ 5:30
An overview of the use of studio strobe lights in a studio setting. This is as much as possible a hands-on class. It is not a lecture course. You will actually be using the lights. Bring your camera or borrow one to shoot with the strobes.
SKILLS:
How strobes work
How to setup and use them, including modifiers
How to meter
Set up and shoot one-light portraits
LENGTH: 2 hours
PREREQUISITES: This is an intro course meant for beginners with strobe lighting. You don’t have to know anything about studio lighting. However, if you bring your own camera, be sure you know your camera's synch speed and how to use it in full manual mode: comfortable at manually setting ISO, shutter speed, and aperture. If you are just curious about such lighting, feel free to come and participate as you want, including sharing my camera for some shooting.
