Lighting can take an image that is flat and without style and give it depth, mood, and emotion. In this workshop you will learn the fundamentals of how light works and why you would choose one style of lighting over another. I am a firm believer in hands-on education and together as a class we will light several different scenes in the same location. You will learn through doing, by setting lights of different styles and types including HMI’s, tungsten, and RGB LED panels. There will also be some time for experimentation and I will work with you to light scenes of your choosing. Lighting has the power to set a mood and this workshop will give you some understanding of how to use different lighting tools to get the look you want. There will be many lighting instruments and light modifiers for you to work with and through using them you will see how different types of lighting can affect a subject, mood and emotion. With a very limited class size of 12 people, you will get a decent amount of personal attention as well as a decent amount of time to work on lighting skills, which will allow you to feel comfortable and not rushed. I have tailored this course to make it flexible enough to accommodate people with absolutely zero experience as well as for people who have done some lighting. This workshop is designed to get you comfortable with the concepts and especially with the practice of lighting a set, interview lighting setups, and as well as general lighting techniques that can be modified to fit different needs.
