Summerschool on Basic Portrait Lighting

Home » Summerschool on Basic Portrait Lighting

Gavin led a summerschool workshop last week exploring how changing lighting angles and strength will affect the final image. Our model for the night, Alaine, did a wonderful job, over and above the call of duty, holding up the reflector and happily creating different poses. Gavin also showed the effect of modifyers like soft-boxes, beauty dish, honeycomb and snoot attachments. I am sure that all members present learned a lot about setting up lights. Here are a couple of pictures from the shoot…thanks Gavin (AGA Gareth!)…for a very useful session.

Next week, we have a session on “selections and cutouts”, followed by “working in layers” the following week, and finally “from picture to print”.
