A photographer's ability to capture images of what they see involves balancing lighting, film, and the aesthetics of their vision. This workshop helps students learn to pre-visualize their images and acquire a keen eye for composition. This course is for photographers working digitally or with film (b&w or color), who want to gain control of light and improve their style and technique with whatever equipment is available in their bags. Each student needs a camera, strobe unit (flash) and a tripod. The class learns how to properly expose under any lighting condition, including low light, natural light, artificial light and mixed light sources. Emphasis is on using flash as fill light by balancing an on-camera flash to the ambient light, and creating images with natural-looking light and color. Lectures and on-location demonstrations include setting up cameras for long exposures, correcting for mixed light, using filters and gels, metering in low light and using strobes as fill. There are lectures and in-class discussions on various methods for creating different qualities of light from on-camera flash.
