Let there be Light !

Week 5

The direction from which light strikes a scene, relative to the camera position, has a significant effect on color, form, texture, and depth in the resulting photo.

Carla (pictured above) is an adept Calgary based photographer with avid skills in lighting. This week Carla delivers a thorough presentation that covers photographic grounds in lighting. Equipped with lights, reflectors and a medium format camera Carla prepares a photo shoot to illustrate a hands on demonstration on how to achieve various effects all by using light. With the support of a volunteer "subject" Carla candidly shares with the group her tips on how to create very different moods. The visual real life set up creates an interactive installation that invites the group to participate and encourages an open question and answer session. Carla clearly is a resourceful asset to Photo 'Graphic Arts and her plain-spoken technique when instructing provides the group with comprehensive tips on lighting techniques.

Thank you Carla !
