SCHEDULE
Part 1: Introduction to Lighting | 1:00 PM – 3:30 PM
We’ll start in the studio with an immersive introduction to lighting fundamentals. You’ll learn how to set up and work with classic setups like Rembrandt, beauty, and clamshell. This session includes a walk-through of essential gear, camera, and lighting settings.
Attendees have the opportunity to work with a model, gaining experience in posing, directing, and composing strong portraits in a controlled environment.
Meal Break | 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM
Grab a bite at one of the many great spots in the area. The team will make some recommendations!
Part 2: On Location in Astoria | 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM
The second half of this workshop will be on location in Downtown Astoria.
We will work with both available light and adding flash. Kate will lead creative demonstrations and provide guidance on posing, directing, and finding compelling backgrounds. Attendees will split into smaller groups to ensure individual time with each model, including opportunities to photograph them together.
