Photographic Lighting: Master Class Photographic Lighting Master Class is a hands-on, practical workshop that teaches students professional-level lighting skills. This series of highly practical workshops will provide hands-on experience for any photographer wanting to learn the basics of how to use photographic lighting. Numbers are limited to allow close personal attention. Through practical demonstrations, hands-on exercises, assignments and inclass activities, students master the art and science of photographic lighting, shadow, contrast, diffusion and colour. Students will be guided to a new level of competence in creative lighting under a variety of real world circumstances, including commercial, pack shots, specialized lighting effects, etc. The course is entirely hands-on. Skills learnt during this course will be gained during the weekly work-shops. Work-shop content will include: • The differences between tungsten and strobe lighting • Softboxes, umbrellas, spots and French flags • Why automatic exposure does not always work and why use manual mode using a light meter to determine the exposure and using the histogram • Taking strobe light pictures • How to control shadows with various lighting options • Practical approaches to product lighting • Tips on how to get started on a budget will be provided during the course • General studio design and safety • Questions and answers
