Overview

Welcome to the Fundamentals of Lighting!

In this course, you can use any level of equipment from high end DSLR's to your phone. You can achieve the look we are going for with something as simple as a household lamp or as complex as a studio strobe.

In this class, we will go through how light works and have two different lighting set-ups to show you the ways in which light works and how you can shape it to create striking imagery. By the end of this course, you will have the knowledge of how to use both natural light, and artificial light and feel more comfortable photographing in any lighting condition.

This course is suited best for beginner to intermediate photographers, however, photographers from all skill levels can benefit from the tips and techniques showcased in this course. This class breaks down and demystifies light, making it easy to digest and work with. If you've been looking to learn how to light, then this course is for you.

Throughout this class you will walk away with:

  • New knowledge of how light works
  • Information on different types of light and how they affect your images
  • Ideas of how to shape light to bring out detail and set a mood
  • Two beautifully lit images from different set-ups
  • The ability to edit you images to enhance the beautiful light you have created

Not only does this course teach the theory behind lighting, but relates it to practical everyday scenarios that you may come across while photographing. You will learn how to adapt and work with your surroundings to have them help your images.

By the end of this Hour-Long course, you will be more comfortable with lighting and have a solid groundwork with which to work off of. If you're a natural-light shooter looking to experiment with light, or looking to expand your creativity with light, or even just getting your feet wet in photography, there is a great deal to gain from this course and we can't wait to see the images you make with these techniques!
