Christopher Ferguson and Steven Noreyko present
Creative Portrait Lighting workshop
Saturday September 13th, 2008 10am – 6:30pm Austin TX
The Creative Portrait Lighting workshop is a full day event covering several aspects of lighting, composing and directing to produce inventive and dynamic portraits. The day is divided into three parts;
Classroom Study as we cover lighting principles, ranges of equipment, choosing modifiers and how to direct posing. For the second portion, we will have Q&A over lunch as we dissect photos, explaining the workflow and thought process behind each. Then we will divide into two groups, one to each instructor, make our way to our location with our models and begin shooting. (Then we alternate and shoot some more!)
All levels of photographer have come through the workshop, as there is truly something to benefit you at every stage of the craft. Whether you are a beginner just getting into photographic lighting and need help deciding future purchases, a hobbyist looking to learn new techniques and pushing your work to the next level, or an established professional looking to refresh or reinvent your own lighting, the information is delivered comprehensively and effectively from two photographers with very different specialties in light. The personal assistance we are able to give by keeping the class sizes small, ensure all your questions are answered and that you truly grasp the info being covered.
