Studio Lighting: Flowers & Found Objects

Presented by The Image Flow at The Image Flow (Miller Ave, Mill Valley), Mill Valley CA

Apr 10 2019
Studio Lighting: Flowers & Found Objects

Learn the art of closeup photography and professional photography lighting in our studio lighting workshop for intermediate and advanced photographers, with Stuart Schwartz & Leanne Hansen.

This still-life studio lighting photography workshop will give you the chance to slow down and study the ways that light creates dimension, shape, and texture.

We will work with a variety of professional studio lighting techniques and configurations, including broad, soft window light and continuous photography studio lights for dramatic effects. Each workshop participant will have their own tabletop to use for composition and photography lighting practice throughout the day.

Photography techniques covered will include macro photography tips, balancing composition, selective focus, choosing backgrounds for simplicity and mood, the importance of point of view, and more.

Bring your own subjects—flowers and objects with interesting shapes and textures—or work with a variety of natural and man-made forms provided at the workshop.

Our workshop includes an introduction and brief history of still life photography prior to getting into the hands-on part of the workshop, a full day of shooting in the studio,  and an evening critique session after the day in the studio.

Also included in this workshop are two 11×17 prints on Epson Premium Luster paper to be used in the critique.

 

Stuart Schwartz graduated from the Art Center in 1979 and then spent 35 years as an advertising photographer in the U.S. and Europe. Stuart’s personal work spans a variety of styles, from street photography to abstract and mixed media. Stuart founded The Image Flow in 2008 with the vision to empower the avid photographer looking for personal growth in photography.

Leanne Hansen works as a commercial and fine art photographer in Marin County CA and Bozeman MT. She has participated in numerous group shows at The Image Flow, the O’Hanlon Center for the Arts, and Marin Open Studios, and her fine art prints are included in private and corporate collections across the country. Leanne has taught several popular workshops at The Image Flow including Language of Light for Photographers, Motion Blur for Expressive Images, and Still Life Photography: Lighting Technique for Flowers.
