SimpleLIGHT PhotoClass
Personally conducted by Andy Lim
This is an intensive and practical PhotoClass for those who have progressed beyond the basics and are at an intermediate/advanced level. Learn how a professional wedding photographer works, from start to finish. Create natural-looking shots using a variety of flash techniques, and learn how different lighting conditions are evaluated and tackled. Participants will have many opportunities to perform the techniques themselves using a female model. Finally, discover how images are post-processed to perfection in the digital darkroom. This is a no-nonsense class where participants will be inspired, mentored and equipped to take their skills to the next level. Worksheet notes will be provided.
