Evening Presentation:
Lights, Camera, Action, 1-2-3! Creative Lighting Workshop with Claude Jodoin
After a quick, 15-minute slideshow of many of Claude’s images, created with various lighting techniques, attendees will have 2 hours to capture their own images. Claude will function as their personal lighting technician, for as many video lighting setups as possible. Working in a studio environment, you will have the opportunity to record your own Camera images, with a live model.
What to bring: Full Frame or small sensor Camera with 70-200 f/2.8 zoom, 85, 100, or 135mm prime portrait lenses (or equivalent), an Expo Disc and/or incident light meter, and a laptop computer to take notes and look and to upload your images when it’s not your turn to shoot. We also encourage the use of cell phone images of each setup so you can recall them for later setups in your own studios.
