Light painting photographing in low light can be a challenge, but mastering light painting techniques grants freedom. Painting your subject with light gives amazing control of light intensity, direction and quality. During this class, we will explore the possibilities of light painting including how and when to use different types of light sources, how to control and play with color at night, how to determine proper exposure and the basics of compositing multiple painted frames to form a single image.
Please be aware that this is a LATE workshop. The workshops starts with a classroom presentation about light painting reviewing the techniques and tricks and then moves out into the night for hands on practice. Students may need their own transportation from the classroom location to the practical location.
