Basic Studio Lighting Seminar - February 2007

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

Basic studio lighting seminar:

When:
Feb. 16 Friday (5:30pm to 9:30pm), Feb. 17 Saturday (scheduled shoot) and optional Critique session on Feb. 19 Monday (5:30 pm to 7:30 pm)

Where:
Unit 602 Cityland 10 Tower 2, H.V. Dela Costa St. Salcedo Village, Makati City, behind RCBC Tower near Shell Gas Station.
Maximum of 9 Participants

Topics:
1. Types of commonly used studio lights
2. Light modifiers
3. Trigerring lights
4. Measuring light
5. Light positions
6. Types of portrait lighting
7. Dealing with models

1st day of seminar will be on discussion of the topics, there will be no shooting to be done. Though there will be a hands-on practice in measuring lights using a flash meter. Groupings of 2 to 3 person will be done for the shoot on the following day. (choose a time slot, 9am, 1pm or 4pm)

2nd day, scheduled shoots for the group, models will be provided. Participants should only come on their time slot, to avoid over crowding. During the shoot, each participant will be asked to conceptualize a lighting set-up to be done with their model, other participants on the same group will be assisting. After the participant finishes the shoot, other participant on the group will do the same, so the previous participant will now be acting as the assistant. (round robin system) Models and a professional make-up artist will be provided.
For the Critique session, this is optional attendance, though I highly reccomend, this will allow fellow students and me to critique ones work, as they say getting better, needs one to realize its faults as to make sure to correct it the next possible time. Kindly bring 1 to 2 of your favorite photo from the photo session printed on 5R, ink jet prints on photo paper are acceptable. All photos will be posted on the wall for viewing.

This guarantees a hands-on set-up, thus learning from actually doing it rather than just listening. This will also make sure that the participant will the only one shooting at the time of his/her set-up, so he/she gets all the needed angles to complete the shoot, no more wrestling for a spot just to get the photo.

Seminar Price is P. 2,500.00 - inclusive of handouts.
