Course Description:

Lighting can take an ordinary portrait and make it extraordinary. It's exactly this power that can cause many photographers to be intimidated by studio lighting. During this four week class, students will get an introduction to the world of portrait lighting.
The Lighting Basics class begins by teaching students the fundamental rules of lighting and introduces them to studio lighting equipment. From there, students will explore metering, portrait lighting set-ups, white balance, modifiers, and more. Students will have an opportunity to work with a wide variety of the latest studio lighting equipment and a model.
