Lighting Workshop with Photographer Joel Cummins
_______________________________________________
During the month of October, Local photographer Joel Cummins provided DATA Di students with a four week lighting workshop. Students worked with Joel in weekly hands on sessions in the Digital Imaging studio at CCHS emphasizing the following techniques- How △ (Composition+Exposure+Light) works to improve your photography
- Why camera angles, beyond the neutral angle, are important to consider
- The differences between hard light and soft light
- How secondary light defines the subject
- The benefits of fill light and reflectors
- How diffusion and reflection effect your subject outdoors
- How white balance effects the the type of light used on your subject
Immediately following the lighting sessions, students were then challenged by Joel to apply what they learned to the following lighting setups
- Indoor standard portrait
- Indoor creative portrait
- Outdoor portrait
