How to light anyone, anywhere, anytime.
APA San Diego proudly presents three of its own to demystify the process of creating exceptional portraits. Andrew Burns, Stacy Keck, and Rich Soublet, are coming together to design a workshop on portrait lighting you will not want to miss. Andrew, an established gaffer/photographer, will walk us through a wide range of lighting setups in the studio. In addition, we cover how to light an individual within a scene on location. Using strobe, RGB, and constant light, we will take attendees through the process of using these tools to create dynamic portrait lighting, not your typical headshot. We will walk the line between light and shadow and show you what it takes to have control over both.
In addition, as a fun way to show the process of creating trust with the people we photograph, Stacy and Rich will each be tasked with creating a series of portraits of someone preselected whom they have never met. These interactions of meeting someone new, quickly creating rapport, and directing their subject on camera will take place live in front of workshop attendees. This will be a great opportunity for participants to pick up practical tips on how to quickly get people comfortable in front of the camera.
This event will be interactive, providing participants the opportunity to ask questions and gain practical knowledge and confidence with their own creative works.
Come join us and see the magic that happens when experienced photographers get together to create together!
