Learn to work with studio lights, light modifiers and backdrops

About the event

In this workshop, you will learn how to shoot portrait photography using studio strobe lights. We will use light modifiers including octo-boxes, beauty dishes, snoots, reflectors, barn doors and umbrellas to create different lighting effects. You’ll also learn about the impact on lighting when using different backdrops. We’ll have a model available on the day to shoot studio portraits.

Bring your DSLR or mirrorless camera along and/or a formatted SD card for a hands-on interactive session. Or you can use some of the latest Sony camera gear available to use on the day.

The workshop is in partnership with Thornton Camera House and includes a $50 store gift voucher to use towards any Sony purchase.
