About Course

Studio Lighting – Still Life and General Product Photography

To be able to produce great product images, one needs a very strong understanding of light in all it’s aspects, thus, we will start with a quick overview of light and it’s behaviour.

What Will You Learn?

  • Setting up your camera in manual mode for perfect studio results
  • (no manual mode experience required).
  • Understanding core light theory (hard vs soft light).
  • Controlling “falloff” as a method of lighting and affecting the light in your background all at the same time.
  • Making the right decision about the focal length of the lens for the shot.
  • Understanding the light modifiers you can use to design the specific lighting for a shot, and then getting hands-on setup experience.
  • Controlling the strobes (lights) – all about power, metering, controlling exposure
  • Demonstration of a tethered workflow to allow real-time image capture on a computer for greater preview ability when shooting live.
  • How to use a light meter for precise light measurement of the subject.
  • Use of umbrellas, strip boxes, octaboxes, beauty dishes and more.
  • Ongoing discussion, tips, and techniques far beyond those mentioned here
  • Prior to the event, you will be provided with preparation notes to read in advance
  • 2-3 weeks following the event, you will receive extra information about retouching, a buying guide and a gallery featuring images created during the workshop event
  • The workshop will also explore shooting with strobes mixing constant (tungsten) light to perfectly balance and control lighting with mixed lighting

Material Includes

  • To be able to produce great product images, one needs a very strong understanding of light in all it’s aspects, thus, we will start with a quick overview of light and it’s behaviour.
  • We then move on to demonstrating a basic product image for an on-line platform.
  • Next, we start exploring the compositional aspects, which not only include the way a product is setup, but, the crop, colours to be used
  • Creative compositional approaches to product photography starting with basic simple product photographs for on-line market.

Requirements

  • You will need:
  • a DSLR or mirrorless camera with interchangeable lens capability and a hot shoe on top of the camera (for the transmitter which we will provide)
  • at least one lens between 50mm and 100mm is ideal
  • other focal lengths greater than 100mm can be useful as well
  • Tripod
  • FULLY charged batteries!
  • a memory card (second for backup is recommended if one should fail)
  • NO flash gear is needed – we provide all of the lighting equipment

Audience

  • If you’ve ever been curious about how the professionals (and aspiring professionals) truly light their subjects, then this workshop is for you. You’ll learn the skills and the techniques to do this all on your own, with advice on which gear to use and why. No previous lighting experience is required, though a good understanding of your camera controls is important.
