Create stunning Light Painted Portraits…
We’re teaching light stick photography in an exciting new workshop.
You’ll learn to:
- Build a light stick
- Use a light stick!
- Work with a model
- Be a model (optional!)
- Operate you camera manually by wireless remote
- Stay invisible in frame without Photoshop
- Balance ambient and artificial light
- Adjust for changing conditions and more...
Class starts at 8pm.
We’ll run through camera settings, light stick design, and technique before sunset.
We’ll photograph the sunset at 8:30, followed by two hours of light stick practice, where you’ll get to work with a professional model, and do some modeling yourself! (optional).
This class is on an eastern bays beach near St. Heliers. The exact location will be provided after you have purchased your place.
Please turn up at 8pm sharp. This kind of photography is best during the “blue hour” (1 hour after sunset), so you’ll need to be fully briefed to make the most of the shooting time we have.
Price includes group and individual training with photographer Charles Brooks in camera settings and post production. It also covers the cost of our model.
Cloud cover and wind can actually be beneficial to this kind of photography. We will shoot in all weather except rain..
