Following on from his introduction workshop to studio lighting, John now offers for those who have attended, or have through other means, reached an equivalent skill level, this advanced lighting workshop.

We now add further to the techniques, using a wider range of lighting accessories, while continuing to make significant inroads into how they are brought together, to create an increasing variety of repeatable styles and results.

During this workshop John will concentrate on people photography across a range of genres from portraits through fashion to boudoir photography. He details solutions that will allow delegates to create rewarding, high quality going forward, and of course will be happy to answer questions about specifics that delegates wish to ask about their own work.

In addition, he will delve deeper into metering for studio lighting accuracy, to create ready to roll images of a professional standard, alongside important camera feature considerations that are often overlooked.

Delegates should bring their camera, a lens suitable for full length to head shot photography, plus plenty of storage space. Those attending will be able to create some imagery of their own to support the supplied course notes.

Some aspects covered:

Creating lighting solutions for various face and body shapes Creating the all important backdrop Lighting for mood, atmosphere and drama Further posing and composition advice, hints and tips Bringing a variety of lighting effects together to work as a ‘whole’
Mastering your cameras characteristics and lighting for its performance capabilities Refining exposures through histogram usage Flash metering for accuracy The best lighting tool (accessory) for the job
