Workshop Details:
This bootcamp training covers our four core modules in learning studiowork
(a) OLO - One Light Only
Most studio lighting books and courses try to impress you with multiple strobes setup. Students learn by copying the light settings and positions but they often fail to understand the "WHYs" and "HOWs"
The true essence of learning studio lighting is to understand how each single strobe contributes to the overall setup.
Too often, when an amateur could not achieve a certain lighting effect, they attempt to improve it by introducing another light. The confusion gets worse as more lights are added without understanding how each one works.
With just one strobe only, an expert studio photographer can give you more interesting lighting setting than an amateur using three or more lights.
This "ONE LIGHT ONLY" course will train you to master thoroughly the various lighting effects that can be achieved with a single strobe.
You will understand lighting principles and concepts so well that you can do wonders with just your speedlights, camera flashes. Good for those who can't afford to shoot in a studio frequently. You can apply your lighting knowledge in your daily photography, outside of a studio.
(b) LOL - Lighting On Location
An extension of the OLO concept, Lighting On Location LOL shows you how to shoot creatively by balancing flash light with ambient exposure.
You will learn how to operation a Bowens gemini strobe powered by a battery pack on location. With the same lighting principles and concepts, you will also learn to improvise and light similarly with your own flashlights
(c) WOW - White On White
How do you photograph a model wearing white against a white backdrop, without losing highlight details?
Most beginners (and some professionals) can't figure out this out. This workshop will teach you how.
(d) BOB - Black On Black
Similar to WOW, how do you photograph a person wearing black against a dark or black background?
Our studio lighting series are structured around these four modules - OLO, LOL, WOW, BOB
We believe that if you understand these four concepts fundamentally, you will be able to tackle any lighting problems on your own.
In short, instead of showing you how to copy typical lighting setups, we teach you to understand lighting concepts fundamentally.
