In this Advanced Photo Processes course, we will explore how lighting can shape and cultivate a personal photographic style. The course offers a hands-on, in-depth examination of lighting techniques for on-location photography. Topics include portable lighting, balancing strobes with ambient light, metering, light modifiers, and color correction. Through demonstrations, assignments, and real-world applications, you will expand your skill set, refine existing techniques, and produce new work that engages with creative lighting challenges.
