In this course, we will explore the uses of various lighting systems, lighting combinations, styles and techniques for today's editorial marketplace. Working with models and a variety of equipment, we will focus on producing magazine-quality images that incorporate fashion, beauty and portraiture. Students will be encouraged to go beyond the technical and explore the aesthetic aspects of their subjects. This hands-on studio course incorporates lectures, demonstrations and assignments. NOTE: Students must supply their own cameras (35mm or digital SLR) that work with electronic strobes. Darkroom time is not available for this course.
