This course is about understanding and using light. What it is, how it works, and the ways it can be controlled and shaped. Although the examples are mainly portraits, the information contained within can be used in all creative areas.
If you’ve never used your own lighting before, thats no problem. Understanding the concepts discussed and participating in the class project can help you take a step towards using your own lights.
I want to share the insights that I’ve developed over the years of doing portrait photography, and I want to do it in a fun way. This course tells the stories and process behind photos I’ve taken.
We also take a look at the equipment that was used, so that all the elements and techniques become familiar as the class progresses.
I’ve tried to make this course both educational and entertaining. My aim is to demystify/simplify advanced lighting, because as a great photographer I got to assist with repeatedly told me, its not rocket science.
Not every lighting possibility is discussed, nor every light and modifier. That would be too much for one course! Instead you get to see how a handful of tools have been used and combined to create different works.
