Yes
Does anyone have any suggestions for studio lighting courses in the North West? I would like to do more portraiture but I haven't got the faintest idea about lighting a face. I do have a large softbox and a continuous lighting rig as well as a stand and a black backdrop but I don't really know what to do with them.
The other consideration is that I mainly shoot medium and large format film but I do have a Fuji X-T1 as well.

Cheers

The lencarta ones Gary used to run were pretty good.

Have you read 'Light, Science and Magic'? That's definitely worth a read and experiment. It's definitely a lot easier to footle around with a digital camera to practice. Or if you want to be old school you could get a polaroid back :)

Thanks folks, I'm really looking for a hands om course as thats how I learn, vids and reading don't work so well although i will look at the links as its a good place to start.
 
I'm sure you that Michael Sewell runs some. He is a member on here, but I've not seen him in ages. I'm sure he's based around Pendle.

Lol. You seem to be a busy man Michael, I've been reading your reviews on lighting rumours recently.

So you want to Work with continious light and not flash? Could be a bit of a problem with LF.
 
You can do amazing stuff with large format film but it requires plenty of flash power.

Whereabouts are you?
