GLOW UP
THE CHALLENGE OF PHOTOGRAPHY
DALLAS
September 7th and 8th
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE:
This course introduces participants to the importance of lighting in photography as a fundamental tool for photographers. The various topics covered will guide photographers in discovering its applications according to their needs. They will not only learn the techniques but also work on the principles of their application. It's not enough to simply know how to position the subject and the flashes; it's also important to understand the "why."
The importance of lighting in photography lies in the fact that photography is "writing with light." From this premise, we realize that lighting is what ultimately tells the story. It's not enough for the iconic elements to be correct and placed in the right location; that will give us an intellectual understanding of the message, but proper lighting will produce an emotional impact on the viewer.
Another objective is for participants to understand that the fundamentals of lighting and the conceptualization of lighting in photography are applicable to any type of photo. Therefore, the workshop is suitable for amateurs and professionals working in different branches of photography.
The practice is developed with still lifes and portraits because these are the genres that allow us to apply what we have learned in image creation and lighting.
Participants should bring a camera and flash if they have one; a large part of the workshop will consist of practical exercises designed to put into practice what has been learned in theory, with all its variations.
