Studio Lighting 101

Description

In this course, you will learn:

Learn about the three basic elements of photography lighting: distance, direction, and shape.
Because lighting determines the tone of a photograph, it's critical to know how to lay a solid foundation for shooting in any lighting situation.
Before learning how to set up your studio, go over your tools and equipment.
Set up your camera for shooting with Capture One and learn how to share photographs with a group of people immediately.
Examine three alternative lighting conditions for a studio. Begin with natural light, which is the simplest and most accessible option.
Then, learn how to light a beauty shoot by starting with one light source and gradually adding more to notice how the mood develops.
Learn how to use some coloured gels and filters to create a unique lighting setup.
Finally, learn how to export your final photographs in high-resolution format, whether for printing or online sharing.
