New Evening Seminar Announced: Lighting You Can See – Creative Portrait Photography Using Continuous Light
We’re excited to announce a brand-new evening seminar now open for booking: Lighting You Can See: Creative Portrait Photography Using Continuous Light with award-winning photographer Paul Wilkinson.
This hands-on session offers a fresh, creative approach to portrait lighting, focusing on one of the most accessible and enjoyable tools available to photographers today – continuous light.
A relaxed, creative approach to portrait lighting
Continuous light has a unique advantage: what you see is exactly what you get. During this inspiring evening, Paul will explore how to use a variety of continuous light sources, including LED panels, LED tubes, spotlights, torches, and even simple household lamps, to create striking and atmospheric portraits.
Rather than relying on complex or expensive setups, this seminar focuses on how small, simple lighting choices can have a big creative impact.
What you’ll learn
Throughout the evening, Paul will demonstrate how to control and shape light to achieve different moods and effects. Key areas include:
- Colour and how it influences atmosphere
- Direction and how it shapes the face
- Feathering and softness of light
- Creating mood with minimal equipment
- Getting more from small, simple light sources
You’ll also gain insight into the decision-making process behind each setup, helping you understand not just how to light a portrait, but why certain choices work.
Perfect for developing your portrait lighting skills
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to expand your creative toolkit, this seminar is designed to be practical, accessible, and inspiring. The techniques covered can be applied immediately in both studio and location environments.
