BIO

Carl Hare pairs creative experience with technical know-how as a freelance photographer and Fujifilm UK product specialist. His work spans many genres, and while his professional roots trace back to weddings, Carl is equally adept at studio portraiture, street, macro, landscapes and wildlife. Keen to share his wealth of knowledge, Carl has delivered photography workshops for close to a decade. Stylish looks are guaranteed inside the studio, while his passion for the outdoors is a constant source of inspiration.

OVERVIEW AND KIT

This workshop will provide photographers with the essential skills to get started in the studio. With this style of portraiture, the creative is in control of every element – and the priority is lighting. By the end of the day, you’ll comprehensively understand the requirements of lighting a model.

No advanced knowledge of lighting is required, but an understanding of camera fundamentals is recommended. This includes working in manual exposure mode, with a command of aperture, shutter speed and ISO. Participants may bring their own kit if preferred, although a range of the latest X Series and GFX System cameras and lenses can be provided. All further lighting tools will also be available.

ON THE DAY

• Arrive at the House of Photography for an introduction to Carl and your peers for the day.
• The morning will consist of in-depth theory, covering lighting styles, modifiers and set-ups, as well as tips on working with models.
• Break for a short lunch and an opportunity to mingle with your fellow enthusiasts.
• Through the hours of the afternoon, apply your new skills, working with a model and brief.
•  

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

The practical and creative elements of studio portraiture go hand in hand. Carl will explore optimal camera and lens settings, as well as the tethering and integration of Capture One.

With an emphasis on creating distinctive looks, this workshop covers lighting theory, touching upon quality of light and lighting styles. Carl will also teach the inverse square law and metering, which are essential steps in the process.

Finally, you’ll get to grips with modifiers – in relation to single sources, as well as multi-light set-ups.
