Basics of professional lighting

The Academy’s studio will again be perfectly lit from all sides in January/February 2008. The four-day workshop will be focussing on the basics of professional lighting: theoretical knowledge combined with practical exercises to show the wide range of options available with the skilful use of light.

The seminar will cover:

Creative lighting for reports, documentaries and films:
-    product photography and still life
-    portraits
-    interview situations
-    space and movement
-    day and night atmosphere
-    dramatic effects
-    special effects (shots in cars, etc.).

Trainer: Leo W. Borchard

Creative lighting is a key factor for this experienced cameraman. As well as working as a Director of Photography, he gladly passes on his know-how as a seminar trainer. His workshops are just as renowned for lively discussions as for solid, practical exercises.

Participants: Professionals and ambitious amateurs

Anyone wanting to get comprehensive experience of the skilful use of light and shade can register for the workshop.
