About this Event

Today’s editorial and commercial fashion photography is shot outside the studio, in visually-interesting locations, with charismatic actors or models performing a story - and with strobe lighting creating the drama necessary for the appropriate mood.

This will be a unique hands-on-shooting workshop, to raise your location-lighting and model-directing skills to the next level.  We will set up 4 different locations to give you unique opportunities to create dramatic new images for your portfolios! There will be a live lecture on Zoom on July 7th at 7pm and a Review/Critique Session on Zoom on July 11th at 7pm.

You will create magazine-quality images, with several young actresses as models - using battery-powered Profoto strobe-lighting equipment. Using large soft boxes on the strobes to create beautiful light and focus attention on the subject, you’ll separate and highlight the actor in the colorful environment. You will learn to control the quality of the light, balance it with the ambient backlight, and make images where the strobe lighting creates a style and evokes emotion. We will also address how to direct the model, and how to collaborate with her in creating a story. 

Our location workshops are challenging - but we take the time to train you before the start of your shoot, as well as limit participation to only 12 students, to ensure individual support.

**A week after the event, you will send us your best images to share with the actors, as well as post to a class web page - and you will receive individual email feedback.  Simply bring your camera, backup battery and memory cards, and we will provide the rest (education, models, strobes).

Don’t delay registering for this workshop, as all our Lighting On Location workshops always sell out fast! Street parking is free and plentiful.
