Create 3 stunning pictures using the light setups we’ll see in the class!

Assignment:

To upload three different pictures according to the genres we’ll cover in the class: beauty, fashion and still life. You’ll decide which setup works better for each of these, and explain the main reasons on why you chose them. Don’t worry if you have a beginners camera or if you don’t have expensive flashes, I will show you some affordable options to light your scenes.

The most important thing to achieve the best result on the assignment is understanding light and working on your creativity, so I encourage you to practice with objects you have around and learn how to frame properly for each one of the pictures. Share your results and progress so the rest of the students and myself can take a look at them and give you the best feedback possible!

Materials:

For this class you’ll need:

- A camera (it doesn’t matter if it’s a film camera or a digital one)
- A couple of studio lights or strobes. It’s okay if you have just one light, but you’ll get even more awesome results if you manage to make work with two different light sources.

A computer with Capture One, Adobe Lightroom or any other software to work on the pictures.
