Location Lighting 101 Workshop Saturday, January 23, 2010 Seattle, Washington
This full-day workshop will be focused on location lighting. The primary focus will be on off-camera lighting, but feel free to ask on-camera lighting questions as well. By the end of this session you will be able to quickly set up and execute an on-location lighting setup. This workshop is limited to 6 participants only. This is going to be very hands-on and I want to make sure all your questions get covered. Topics covered: - Why use off-camera lighting?
- Equipment. I'll give you my equipment recommendations for various budgets from shoestring to elaborate.
- Monoblocs vs. power packs vs. hotshoe-mounted flashes
- Infrared and radio transmitters
- Cords, connectors, etc.
- How to meter your camera for off-camera flash
- Why you don't need a light meter
- How to set the correct exposure on your subject
- Understanding modifiers: bare flash, grid spots, umbrellas and soft boxes
- How to create soft lighting or hard lighting
- Lighting groups with a single flash
- Limitations: what your flash can and cannot do
- Understanding light placement - where to place your flash in relation to your subject
- Fill lighting: when to use it, how to use it and when not to use it
- Lighting wedding receptions
We'll discuss the theory behind lighting, but the primary focus will be on practical, hands-on experience. Much of the day will be spent actually setting up and shooting various off-camera setups. Prerequisites: I'm going to assume that you've never worked with off-camera flash before. We'll go step by step from square one. You don't need any prior flash knowledge, but you will need to come with a basic understanding of how to set exposure on your camera. In other words, you'll need to know what ISO, aperture and shutter speed mean. The details: Price: $350 for the full-day session. We'll go at least from 9am - 5pm, but that's not a hard stop. I'll stay longer if there are still many unanswered questions. Lunch is included. Payment: Check, Visa, MasterCard or Paypal Location: My Seattle office Bring to the workshop: a DSLR and a notebook. If you have a Pocket Wizard and a speedlight, bring those too, but not required. Deadline: There is no deadline to sign up, but remember that space is limited to the first 6 participants who sign up.
