The day will commence at 10.00 for 10.15 start with an overview of the
lighting equipment, how it works, and how to set up different
configurations to achieve a variation of styles. We will focus on the Key
Light, Fill Light, Rim Light and background lights to explore how
different set ups can create very different results from high contrast to
soft images and how to tailor the mood of your images by strobe
placement, modifiers used and power settings.
Our model Karolina will arrive at about 11am and we will explore how
light and shadow can bring out the best in our models face.
After the instructional period, it will be the turn of our members to take
