The aim of this workshop is to enable you to set-up and use the photographic studio for portraiture.


You will be able to:
  • Select and set-up basic lighting arrangements.
  • Obtain correct exposures through using a lightmeter.
  • Set-up your camera for studio conditions and using a radio flash trigger.

The style of the workshop will be informal, with a high practical content. You will be encouraged to ask questions and perform basic tasks in order to gain confidence and experience.
