This workshop will explore many different types of “available” light. From the natural, ambient light outdoors to making the most of low light indoor situations and even overcoming the unique obstacles involved in night photography.
This hands on shooting intensive experience will provide a foundation to understanding and controlling all types of light.
This afternoon and evening workshop is timed to provide a variety of shooting situations that will challenge participants to apply techniques discussed in the classroom. After a classroom presentation the class will head out to photograph in the streets, making stops at key locations to capture different indoor and outdoor lighting situations.
