Free One-Day Studio Photography Workshop for High School Students - November 22nd
|
We will be offering a Friday, full day workshop this fall, on November 22nd for high school students. The workshop will be an introduction to studio portrait lighting. Students will learn to capture digital images while tethered to a computer, exploring a variety of studio lighting techniques and equipment, including studio strobes, grid spots, color gels, gobos and soft boxes. Technical areas covered will include digital camera operation, settings for capturing tethered, shooting RAW, background gradation and styling. We will shoot in the studio in the morning and then after we break for lunch return to the computer labs where we will print the images we shot in the morning. Each student will be able to take their printed images at the end of the day. We will supply everything they will need and lunch will be provided. There is very limited space, only 10 seats so please reserve your spot early.
The workshop is from 9:30 - 3:30pm. Workshops are free for high school juniors and seniors. Lunch and an attendance note for the participant's high school attendance office will be provided courtesy of the Westphal College. Registrants will receive a confirmation letter and more detailed information about the workshop including the days' agenda, information on where to arrive, and what supplies to bring, if any, prior to the date of the workshop.
