Introduction To Studio Lighting With Simon Burfoot

Hosted by Simon Burfoot FMPA, ABIPP, ARPS, who is the Technical Director of Elinchrom UK. Simon is a qualified photographer and lighting tutor who is best known for his lighting courses.

If you want to take your photography to the next level and understand how to shape and manipulate light then look no further! This workshop will teach you how to control light using modifiers and reflectors and get as much right in-camera to save you a lot of time in post-production. Simon will go through everything from simple one-light setups and the differences between hard & soft/matt & specular light sources; to the effect these have on the subject in terms of ‘in-camera’ skin smoothing and the control of exposure with your camera’s aperture.

This course is aimed at beginners or those using speedlights who want to become more creative in their studio or out on location, you’ll leave the workshop with the confidence to recreate the setups, understand the techniques and be able to put them into practice.

You should leave with the confidence to be able to recreate this set up having gained a firm understanding of the techniques.
