Everything Lights

27th September 2023 | Collective Studios, Auckland

What is it?

Lighting is one of those things as a professional you just need to have in your tool kit, but where do you start? 

I believe in order to fully understand lighting to get the best results easily, you should be able to use flash and constant light in any situation, understand how to balance multiple lights with ambient exposure, and how to use them all to get more creative. How to make a boring scene better by adding light.

On the surface off camera flash is complicated, but I can show you how to do it with consistency, every time. Ill show you how to take it from overwhelming to understanding exactly what’s happening and how to control the situation.

What you’ll learn

  • Lighting a reception, with a head table practical setup.

  • Setting up different combinations from 1 to 4 lights and how to balance them with ambient light.

  • Using on and off-camera flash at the same time to solve the issue of roaming reaction shots with head table shots.

  • Using flash vs. constant light and the options you have.

  • Setting up backlit night shots, easy, every time.

  • Dance floor flash.

  • Using modifiers.

  • Using gels and coloured lights to match the reception white balance.

  • Gear options for flash and constant light.

  • Hands-on time with our lights (We have triggers for any brand)

  • And finally, studio lighting. Because it all blends together, and it will all make you money.
