This eight-session advanced course, limited to nine participants, is the next logical step for photographers with a basic understanding of artificial light who are interested in developing a sophisticated aesthetic. We’ll photograph both in the studio and on location while addressing common concerns for both scenarios. We’ll study the masters by dissecting their technique and learning from their vision. Weekly assignments will encourage creative problem solving, practicing newly-learned techniques, and tackling challenging subject matter. Technical emphasis will be placed on fine-tuning basic skills, elaborate multi-light setups, lighting large spaces, lighting for large groups, specialty light modifiers, augmenting available light, overpowering sunlight, and “dragging" the shutter. Each student is encouraged to trust the role his or her intuition plays in exceptional photography.

Following the first class session, the ensuing six meetings, on alternate Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons, will involve hands-on shooting both in the studio and on location. The final eighth class session will provide an opportunity for a group slide show presentation and to share experiences. Agency represented models will be provided.
