The success of every photographer, both artistically and professionally, is built on a strong understanding of how light works. Join photographer Mark Wallace for a three-day course that'll demystify the fundamentals of lighting and give you the concrete skills you need to get a powerful image using the right lighting every time you shoot.
Mark will cover everything you need to know about hard, soft, directional, and diffused light. You'll learn about reading natural light and manipulating it with tools like reflectors and diffusion panels. Mark will also guide you through working with light in a studio environment, including using basic studio lights to shape and control light and working with strobes and speedlights. You'll also learn about shooting on location and how to balance, shape, and color ambient light alongside light from a flash.
By the end of this course, you'll have a whole new understanding of light that'll help you shoot more efficiently, capture consistently well-lit images, and reach new creative heights as a photographer.
