Studio Lighting Course

[bluesilver]

Hi all,

I know my way around a studio to a degree, but I would like to understand things in more depth and also learn to use light/shadow more creatively.

Does anyone know of any one or two day courses in the Dorset area that do this?

The main types of photography it would be used for is model/fashion and family - so opposite ends of the spectrum in many ways.

Budget is around £500 really.

thanks all

Neil

Pretty sure Greg at http://thurtlepower.com/dorsetweddingphotographerblog/category/photography-and-equipment/ does training in his studio. He lives somewhere in Dorset with a hilarious name.

Google Chris Burfoot I think he runs courses via the RPS and the Flash centre over in your direction.

Chris works for Bron now, not the TFC.

For the OP's budget, I would suggest finding a studio photographer that he admires the work of, and spending a day working through their styles.

I done a day with this one, very reasonable at the price, and a nice fella happy to share his knowledge

Not all for you maybe, but at the price I'd recommend it if you can get there or he is in your area on one of his tours

Chris Burfoot does weekend Studio Potraiture courses for the RPS now- same
Lighting course as always, and usually at Lacock near Chippenham. There is a useful FB group of his course delegates developing too. Next course 22 June

He also does a couple of more advanced lighting courses for Art nude.

You could have a look here http://www.firstpointphotography.co.uk/
I did a week long course with them in 2008. Looks like they have expanded a bit now. Also they are in Bournmouth.

Regards Dave

I'd certainly second the courses that Chris runs via the RPS. A very nice bloke, with years of experience, and in a great location.
As has already been mentioned, the subsequent facebook group that you would then be able to join is a great place to discuss or ask for advice. Thoroughly recommend.
