Seminar on Basic Lighting
by Gavin Holt
This course is an introduction to understanding light. Whether artificial or natural light, a good photographer understands how to use lighting situations to his/her advantage to create good images. This seminar will start with basic studio lighting setups for portraits, which will expand (based on the students and the instructor) into more experimental setups. Based on time and location availability, the course will end outside with an introduction to balancing ambient and strobed light. The seminar is a starting point into using off-camera lighting.
Outline:
1) light setups – monolight used to create simple but dramatic portraits, ringlight setup if time permits
2) light setups – two monolights used to create a variety of portrait lighting
Balancing light sources – basic ambient / strobe light balancing
