Wed, Mar 9, 2016 – 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM PC75-Light Fast and Well with Hotshoe Flash
In this highly caffeinated, fast paced, two-hour session, Joe McNally will start with basic one light, on-camera approaches and quickly move through a series of scenarios, developing more sophisticated, off-camera, small flash setups using multiple speed lights. McNally uses the Nikon Speed Light system, or CLS, but in this class his main efforts will be placed on how to use the light, instead of the buttons and dials, so that his lighting lessons can apply to all camera systems. Emphasis will be placed on moving fast and using the intuitive capabilities of TTL wireless flash photography to create portraiture and beautifully lit scenes. The issue of successfully managing light will be up for discussion, as well as diffusing it, bouncing it and creating drama and shadows. The three main areas of using light are color, quality and direction, and all three will be shown and discussed during this class. A live model will be present, but McNally also pulls subjects from the crowd, which always results in lively exchanges. In addition to the images shot live, he will show examples of light and light theory, while engaging the audience in an ongoing Q&A and offering tips, tricks, stories and survival strategies derived from 35 years of shooting.
