Studio Photography Workshop

@ Gala Theatre and Cinema

Suitable for beginners and experienced photographers.

To coincide with the exhibition Claude Cahun: Beneath The Mask (8 September – 11 November), professional photographer Kev Howard will be exploring working with studio techniques of lighting and stylised imagery, looking to the exhibition for examples of theatrical and experimental photographic techniques.

Working with a full studio rig with different attachments such as snoot, brolly’s, soft box and reflector, the workshop will concentrate on:

• lighting styles
• poses and how to put the sitter at ease
• use of props
• use of movement (with and without studio flash)
• how to force different perspectives and angles to photograph at
• use of wide angle lens
• look at High and Low key lighting
• look at how to use everyday house lights to good effect in home portraits
• use the mirror panels to experiment with reflections
