PH374

As a continuation of PH273 Lighting Essentials, this course will focus on the manipulation and control of photographic lighting to align with conceptual intent. Students will work with strobe light kits and a wide range of modifiers and grip equipment both in and out of the studio. They will practice mixing available light, tungsten and flash in complex lighting scenarios while using both digital and medium format film cameras. Professional practice will be taught through consideration of scenarios that involve working with clients, drawing up contracts and collaborating in groups. Assignments, readings and lectures will expose students to contemporary and historic photographic lighting techniques in both fine art and commercial contexts.
