This two-day workshop will cover methodology for rationalizing and capturing non-traditional lighting set-ups.

Students will learn how to visualize and interpret light pattern in a simplistic more digestible method. Some of the topics that will be covered include: up lighting, soft lighting, backlighting, rim light, sharp and soft lighting, reflect light, high contrast, low contrast, fill light and basic camera techniques. www.mattdickson.net
