"You were very precise with the information about the lighting equipment and setups. Also, I picked up some invaluable tips on how a studio works as a business and some great marketing advice. "

Welcome to the captivating world of studio lighting, where photographers master the art of illuminating their subjects to perfection. As a photographer, you understand the transformative power of light, and studio lighting provides you with a controlled environment to harness that power in its purest form. Whether you're a seasoned professional or an enthusiastic beginner, delving into the realm of studio lighting opens up a realm of creative possibilities that can elevate your photography to new heights.

Key Points:

Controlled Environment: 
In the studio, you become the director of light, sculpting and shaping it to bring out the best in your subjects. Unlike natural light, which can be unpredictable and fleeting, studio lighting empowers you to create a consistent and controlled ambience.

Consistency and Precision: 
Understanding the fundamentals of studio lighting involves unravelling the secrets of key light, fill light, and accent lights. The interplay of these lights allows you to craft shadows and highlights, adding depth and dimension to your images.

Modifying Light with Precision: 
The importance of modifiers cannot be overstated. Tools such as softboxes, umbrellas, and reflectors become extensions of your artistic vision, allowing you to mould light with precision.

Mood and Atmosphere: 
Delve into the nuances of setting the mood in your photographs. Studio lighting provides you with the tools to capture every detail, accentuate textures, and achieve the desired atmosphere in your images.

Learnable Skill: 
For aspiring photographers, studio lighting may seem daunting at first but fear not the technicalities. It's a skill that can be learned and perfected over time. This introduction aims to be your guiding light, helping you navigate the intricacies of setting up and fine-tuning studio lights to achieve your photographic goals.

So, whether you're capturing the subtle details in a portrait, creating dramatic and moody scenes, or showcasing products with utmost clarity, studio lighting is your passport to unlocking a new realm of photographic creativity.

Studio Lighting Workshop
postponed

WORKSHOP DAY 
The workshop runs from 9.30-5 with a break for lunch around 12.30/1
We will start with basic camera settings for the studio, and a walkthrough of the equipment we will be using.

We then will have 3 lighting setups in the morning, and 3 more in the afternoon.

I like the use of colour in my work, so we will be shooting a mixture on mono and colour images, and coloured gel work also 

I find that when working with studio lighting having a model that knows what they're doing really helps,
so our model Hannah will be working with us on the day

I will be providing sandwiches and crisps for lunch on the day, but feel free to pop out for something more. 

There will be Tea, Coffee and Cold drinks provided at the studio as well as snacks throughout the day.
