Photography- An introduction to portrait studio lighting

From 116 C$ /h

An introduction to studio lighting. This intro class starts with a simple, classic one-light setup to get your confidence up, and then we'll gradually add more lights to build up a professional look. You'll get to play around with different modifiers—like soft boxes and a beauty dish. You can see exactly how they change the mood, softness, and shadows of your shots. For the practice part, we can either take turns modelling for each other. Or you can pay an additional cost to hire a model.

This class is for aspiring home cooks. The focus is to learn how to cook five very simple and healthy recipes for yourself and your family. You'll learn a variety of cooking techniques to cut down on costs and time in a relaxed and fun cooking environment. If you are an absolute beginner, don't worry, my eight-year-old son is able to make most of these recipes.

In a nutshell, "Colour Management" is a range of very specific procedures & software settings giving you colour consistency throughout your digital workflow.
Producing and/or editing images (Digital Photographs, Scans, Digital Drawings, Graphic Design pieces, etc.) in a colour managed environment allows you to produce work which will look the same on a screen and on a print. This is the case for prints produced by yourself as well as by professional printing services.
What we will cover:
- What is colour management?
- Colour Modes, Colour Spaces, Colour Gamut
- ICC/ICM Colour Profiles
- Equipment Calibration
- Colour settings for relevant software (Photoshop, InDesign, etc.)
- Colour Managed Digital Workflow, step by step.
