Results from the workshop in Little Falls New Jersey

/in , /by

Today the results from the workshop I taught in Little Falls New Jersey with Nadine.

First set was pretty basic, just explaining the basics of light and angles.

After the first set it was time for some shots explaining angles and composition in a narrow walkway. Also a great set to show the differences between flash and available light and how to mix those. This was also a great location to talk about lenses and of course posing the model.

For the last set we used an old elevator, I just love this set, and already wanted to shoot it last year, but then we chose to go outside. In the elevator I started with only the available light.

Already loved this shot but of course there was more.
By adding strobes you can create your own reality and aim the light more.

Also here I explained how to get the ambient light in the way that you want. Often when people use strobes they loose control over the ambient, which is a shame because it can add so much to the shot.

For the next part it was time for some cool gels and lensflares.
I explained different options to use the gels, from side lighting, to lensflares and even a smokey effect.

And never forget the close up 🙂

 

We also filmed an episode of “Behind the closed DOORs” during this workshop, you can find that one here:
