This in-depth beginning lighting class will kick-start your skills and help you build confidence with basic studio lighting tools and practice. You’ll get hands-on time with a variety of lighting equipment in both studio and location situations while you experiment and create new work. With a master lighting artist as your guide, you’ll build a solid foundation on which to develop and refine your skills.

Instructive demos, creative trouble-shooting tips, and access to Newspace’s professional lighting studio make this class a must for those interested in shooting like the pros.

Manual camera proficiency and an SLR camera are required. Students should bring cameras and may shoot with film or digitally. Students may use the studio for five hours free of charge during their enrollment.
