This workshop will provide photographers with the essential skills to get started inside and outside of 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.
Note: Please aim to arrive 15 minutes before your session time.
Arrive at the Space Liverpool Studio 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.
The practical and creative elements of 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 the 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.
You’re welcome to bring your own set-up, although a selection of the latest FUJIFILM cameras and lenses suitable for this type of photography will be available on the day.
Tripods and lighting equipment will be provided for the practical session in the afternoon.
