About this course:

This course explores advanced lighting and camera techniques essential to commercial and personal assignments. Students will explore conventional and DIY lighting tools such as hot and cool continuous sources, studio and portable strobe lighting, professional grip hardware, and light modifications. We will investigate light's intricacies and work to demystify them in support of helping the student find their own photographic voice. Students will learn how to control and shape light within the context of their own portfolio. Capture One software (or Lightroom) is used to provide real-time capture and display of RAW images and Photoshop will serve to finalize projects.
