LI-001: Understanding Light
Synopsis: In this series of two 3-4 hour sessions we study portrait lighting and basic lighting positions in a studio setting. Based on the notion that 'there is only one sun' we start out the first session with only one key light and learn that exact lighting positioning changes everything in portrait lighting. In the second session we learn do's and don'ts working with a second light source. We end the sessions analysing light in the work of master painters.
