One light, Two light, Three light, more...

Ratios, pixels, chimping, metering, soft lights, hard lights, posing, lighting patterns…..it can all be so confusing and overwhelming. Every consumer can set their camera on auto exposure, auto focus and TTL flash. To compete in today’s photographic marketplace, professional photographers must be able to create a style and craftsmanship which the average consumer cannot duplicate.

Designed with the beginning/intermediate professional in mind, Tim will teach a fundamental lighting and posing class emphasizing the basic elements of quality studio portraiture. Tim will expose the students to the discovery of the beauty of light and the power and emotion it can add to their photography.

The students will leave with a solid understanding of portrait lighting, how to apply it with style and how to both flatter and creatively interpret their photographic subjects. They will be released from the intimidation of their camera and lighting equipment and will have the tools to set a solid foundation for their future artistic styles.
