Lighting for Portraits, and beyond

Fronsac

This Masterclass is all about light and for anyone who uses light, whether artificial, flash, or available.

A greater knowledge of lighting supports all genres of photography, well beyond Portraiture.

Bjorn is revered in the field of light and his passion for light is quite contagious. This class will focus on light in its various forms and how to combine and manipulate light, from basic to an advanced level.

Bjorn will explain why it is so essential that you master lighting with knowledge and technique being the essential ingredients to successful lighting.

Light is not only the essence of photography itself but also the quintessence of everything that is sublime about photography. Light is evocative, it conjures and plays with our imagining while assisting our perceptions.

Bjorn noted very early on in his career that all the great photographers had one thing in common, they were all masterful at lighting. There wasn’t an exception to be found.

His enthusiasm became an obsession that caught the attention of a discriminating photographic industry which led to a prolonged ambassadorship with lighting leader, Elinchrom and sponsorship from other leading companies. As well as commissions from discerning commercial companies and private clients alike.

Bjorn describes the vastness of exploring light “We can study light a lifetime, and still run out of time”.

This class will certainly inspire you through illustrative images and practical demonstrations (some with a model)

These are amongst just a few of the things you will learn.

1) What light is and why it’s the essential ‘must learn’ subject.

2) Sophisticated light manipulation using designed products as well as household materials.

3) Understanding the greatest light of all, daylight. Then indulging every sublime nuance of it.

4) Why just one light still rules the domain and probably always will.
