How to create your own strobist studio [PR303]

This session is the natural follow-on to “PR302- Off Camera Flash” and/or “CR104 – Off Camera Flash and Strobist Techniques”.  However, you don’t need to have attended either event to get the benefit of this session.

If you have ever wanted your own home studio but don’t have either the space of money to create your own, then this session will explain what is possible using just speedlights.  In this session, you will learn how easily available items such as Venetian blinds can make great backgrounds.

You will learn several different lighting set-ups ranging from one to three speedlights.  All the lighting setups used are based on just three modifiers, 1 x grid, 1 x umbrella and 1 x softbox.

The session is a practical session and you will have the opportunity to practice these types of lighting by photographing a model.  You will be provided with lighting diagrams for the lighting set-ups taught at this session.

The model for this event will be Em450 (http://purpleport.com/portfolio/emred/?referrer=ianbutty)
