Most photographers get comfortable with the lighting setups they use, and tend to shy away from trying new or different ones. Pushing yourself to incorporate new lighting techniques can help to expand your photographic style. You don’t need to buy more lighting equipment to start thinking about how the light is appropriate for what you’re shooting. Learning to see and light a location or scene and bring it to life in your images takes an in-depth understanding of lighting, direction, and creative vision. Join Chris Knight, well-known photographer, instructor, and author, to learn how to create cinematic lighting that allows you to be more innovative for your clients and yourself.

Chris will explain:

 

• How to think like a filmmaker but apply those ideas to a single image
• Motivated lighting and how to incorporate the techniques into your creative vision
• Framing and layering for your images
• How to use direction and guidance to achieve a cinematic look
• How to enhance the cinematic lighting you achieved in-camera through post production processes
