March 16th Education Night – Lights, Camera, Action

March 16th Education Night – Lights, Camera, Action

We will meet at the Church at 7pm for an evening of exploration in lighting and portraits. Bring your cameras and tripods and try out three different lighting scenarios – three lights, one light and natural light. You can shoot, pose if you like, ask questions and investigate these lighting schemes and how they can improve your portrait skills. Larry Pollock and Jim Ingraham, both professionals with loads of lighting experience will take us through an evening that should prove to be ‘enlightening’. See you on the 16th!
