  • Shannon Studios Fountayne Road London, England, N15 4QN United Kingdom (map)

£170
Level : Beginner

Hard light versus soft light; a sunny day versus a cloudy day; strong shadows versus no shadows.
Fairly simple when shooting outdoors but often an obstacle for beginners when shooting in the studio. Mastering Hard Light & Soft Light is the key to shooting with consistency in any kind of rooms, at any time of day, comes rain or shine.

During this workshop, Megan will guide you through the process of understanding and harnessing both hard and soft light in the studio environment.
You will learn how to create different moods, enhance textures, and add depth to your images using these two distinct lighting styles.

What you'll learn:

  • The characteristics and qualities of hard light and soft light

  • Techniques for shaping and modifying light to achieve the desired effects

  • Understanding the role of shadows and highlights in creating dramatic visuals

  • Tips for working with different light modifiers, such as reflectors, diffusers, and umbrellas

  • Practical exercises and hands-on demonstrations to reinforce your learning

Our workshop is designed to be interactive and engaging, allowing you to put your newfound knowledge into practice. You'll have the opportunity to work with a professional model and experiment with various lighting setups to capture stunning images under the guidance of Megan.
All the photos you take during this workshop are yours to keep and use for your own portfolio.
