Lighting workshop with Evie Kedavra at ARB Studios - this Thursday!

There are still places available on this event!

I’m delighted to be running a workshop with Evie Kedavra at the lovely ARB Studios – though in three hours we can only scratch the surface of what’s possible there!

Starting at 6-30, and working for three hours, we’ll cover a series of different lighting setups. There will be time for everyone to shoot plenty of images with each, and there will be printed notes for you to take away and review in the light of your images. You will leave with a basis for setting lights up to create similar images on your own.

We’ll begin with natural light portraits in the set studio, showing you how to make the most of window light, and how to avoid fussy background detail in your images.

Then there will be strong sidelighting against the corrugated wall for a dramatic rendering of both model and background.

Have you ever seen pictures using LED globes as both light source and secondary interest in an image? You’ll be able to shoot pictures of Evie in front of a dark backdrop, and you may find that you enjoy winding the ISO right up!

If time is going well, we’ll shoot some close-up portraits with glass chess pieces picking up light in a one-light-plus-reflector setup.

The evening will finish with Evie posing for classic art nude images on the infinity curve – ideal material for converting to black and white.

There are places for a maximum six photographers, at a cost of £65 each for the 3-hour workshop.

A £35 deposit will secure your place – please contact me, or Amy at ARB for further details or to arrange to pay your deposit.
