Creative Color Lab
About this Event
Creative Lighting Lab Workshop at PROCAM Chicago!
Learn to create cinematic portraits using strobes, constant lights, shutter drag, creative filters, and intentional posing. Through live demonstration and hands-on shooting, you’ll practice shaping light, control mood, create motion, and add depth and dimension to your images.
We’ll explore multiple lighting setups, creative effects and practical techniques that can be used for seniors, portraits, athletes, and commercial work. You’ll learn how to use light direction, modifiers, gels, filters, and camera settings to create clean, professional portraits to bold, cinematic images. We’ll also experiment with filters and in-camera effects to add atmosphere and mood to your images.
