What is a Studio Lighting workshop?

This workshop does exactly what is says on the tin; it is a dedicated day of training to get the most out of studio lighting equipment. Learn to skillfully manipulate light and master the art of producing beautiful portraits time and again.

Workshop specification:

• Both Canon or Nikon users welcome.
• Based here at the Lovegrove Studio
• 1 tutor (Damien Lovegrove)
• 3 delegates
• 1 professional model
• 1 makeup artist

What you will learn:

You will learn how to use hard light, soft light, key light, fill light, kickers and backlights empowering you to be able to create portraits of all styles. Learn how to control contrast, how to separate the foreground and background lighting in a shot, and how to use reflectors in beauty photography. There is no substitute for a thorough understanding of light and its application when creating portraits in the studio. This masterclass in lighting will demonstrate how studio space can be used to give you total control of your environment. The skills and the knowledge you take from this workshop will be equally valid whether you work on location or in the studio.

If you want a sneak peek at Damien's teaching style, take a look at the 7 minute video on the blog here.

Who should attend?

This workshop is recommended for portrait photographers who wish to expand their creative abilities in a studio environment. All participants should know how to use their cameras.

What you will have at the end of the day to take away:

1. You will be shooting portfolio images you can use right away, on your website, in brochures or on your studio walls. The models we use are professionals and will be patient with us.

2. You will have a new repertoire of lighting styles and images you can shoot in your own studio spaces. This will give you the edge over your competition and you will feel a renewed excitement for studio shooting.

Testimonials:



DOUGLAS SAID: Just wanted to say thanks for a great day last Thursday. The images are fantastic, learned loads and really enjoyed it. Still can’t get over what you can do with a single light! I’ll definitely have to go on one of your street shooting courses now!

ROB SAID: I love how you always succeed in getting a maximum result out of a (almost) minimal setup, whether on location or in the studio. Compliments. Well, the models don’t hurt either.

STEVE SAID: I have so many good shots from this workshop that I’m having trouble editing them to get a selection for my blog/portfolio etc. It was an excellent day and I’m already using the techniques to help me shoot some much more creative studio work. Looking forward to the urban portraits workshop in June.

MICHAEL SAID: Many thanks for another great workshop. I have lots of shots that I like and will be on there way to Marko and his team very shortly.

CAROLE SAID: Thanks Damien it was a brilliant day that has totally changed the way I will shoot in my studio. I loved it from begining to end and have some great ‘wow’ shots to look back on. Its amazing to see how much can be done in a studio of that size and see the different effects of the lighting accessories. Having only 3 people made it very relaxed and comfortable. Of course Sarah was a star and Vicki did a wonderful job : ) Another workshop that I’m sure will be very popular and which I would recommend to anyone.
