Lighting Boot Camp
Instructors: Martin Berglin, Kyle Camerer
Class Description
Lighting Boot Camp is a comprehensive course of four 2½ hour sessions in studio and location lighting and its application to product, editorial, fashion and portrait photography. Students will learn all aspects of studio lighting and utilize that training, as well as on-site location and production training, while in the field and on location. Each of the four classes is devoted to Fashion, Editorial, Portrait and Product photography. The classes focuses on studio lighting where individual skills are learned and applied to skill sets that stretch the limits of both natural and artificial light sources. After four sessions, students will have a broad range of lighting skills that will serve most all applications of photography and the understanding of light. Lighting Boot Camp is held in the Mpls Photo Center’s 2,800-square foot Lighting Lab.
