Lighting Fundamentals

Learn how to properly light your work for photo documentation and for creating photographic works. By studying a variety of lighting scenarios, you will make specific choices about existing or ambient light conditions, as well as lighting augmented by other sources. You will develop skills in metering and mixing light sources, and explore fantastical lighting schemes with strobe systems and LED lights. Spend class time on demonstrations, individual projects, digital image manipulation, printing, critiques, and lectures. You must supply your digital SLR (single-lens reflex) or mirrorless camera with manual functions; no point-and-shoot cameras. 

Prerequisite: Introduction to Digital Photography or equivalent experience.

This class is taught by L Koo.
