Class Description

Description

The success of every photographer, both artistically and professionally, is fundamentally based on a strong understanding of how light works and behaves. Join renowned photographer Mark Wallace for an intensive three-day course that will completely demystify the fundamentals of lighting and give you the concrete skills and knowledge you need to get a powerful image using appropriate lighting every single time you shoot. Mark will cover everything you need to know about hard light, soft light, directional light, and diffused light. You'll learn about reading natural light in various conditions and times of day, and master techniques for manipulating it with tools like reflectors and diffusion panels. Mark will also guide you through working with light in a professional studio environment. You'll explore using strobes, continuous lights, and light modifiers to shape and control light effectively.

By understanding the fundamentals of light behavior, you'll develop the ability to see and visualize light before you take the shot, predict how it will affect your image, and make intentional creative decisions about lighting every time. This course provides the foundational knowledge that all professional photographers must possess.
