PHOTOGRAPHING WITH GOBOS : Using Gobos Indoors and Outdoors


https://www.skillshare.com/classes/PHOTOGRAPHING-WITH-GOBOS-Using-Gobos-Indoors-and-Outdoors/154186064


We can use gobos indoors or outdoors using sunlight or artificial light. Gobos work equally well on still life, portraits or even landscapes and street photographs. Gobo’s can take the form of solid objects, cut outs, or natural things in the environment. Gobos can be used to “upscale” our lighting in an image to create something unique. They can be used to accentuate the subject or add to the story of our image. They can be a lot of fun to work with and very simple to use.


In this class you will learn how to create and use gobos, what lighting to use and where to place them for best effect.


I will show you the technique of using various gobos in a studio shoot with a model.


I will also show you many examples of my use of gobos to give you some ideas of your own.


 


What lighting to use.


The definition or sharpness of the shadow cast by our gobo will vary depending on the size of our light source.


If we are using sunlight outdoors our shadow will be quite sharp and well defined.


On a cloudy day the shadow may not even be visible.


Hard light from a small light source such as the sun tends to give us better results with gobos.


 


Indoors we can use led or continuous lighting from a small source but flash will be much brighter. You could try shooting with your flash on your camera but moving it away from your camera will give you more options.


You will also notice a difference in the shadow by moving your light source further or closer to the gobo.
