This course focuses on the tools, concepts and ideas around working in a photographic lighting studio and applying those skills inside and outside of the traditional studio setting. Using the studio at CCA, we will be exploring artists using the studio as well as learning current commercial practices. This will include continuous and strobe lighting, tethered shooting, Capture One software and digital medium format capture. Students in this class will gain a thorough understanding of both light and color and how to control them to create their own specific artistic vision. This class consists of in-class photoshoots in studio and on location as well as small group collaborations and individually driven projects.
