Gold Skillshare - Kasia Zmokla - Lighting Style In Photography

Get inspired by Renaissance Masters and translate the Chiaroscuro oil panting technique into photography medium.

In this class we will explore one of the most dramatic lighting styles in photography - a Low Key technique. The class is packed with examples of Low Key portraiture, since it is my favourite shooting style. I love the simple setup, as with just one source of light (it can be a window covered woth a white sheet to diffuse the sunlight) I can entirely focus on my subject.

It takes time to get efficient - but, well... this relates to mastering anything!

To shoot in a low-key style is relatively easy, no need for any elaborate lighting setup.

All you need is:

• a dark space
• and just one light source - and it can be literally ANY light source - you can use a table lamp, open door and work with light coming through form a second room or use your computer’s screen as a soft-box.

The class is going to be fun, I’ll help you with some creative ideas and tips, so after completing the lessons you will have an impressive moody photo to share with your friends.

Ready? Let’s get started!

In the 2nd class from the "Lighting Style in Photography" series, we will focus on the High Key Effect.

In this class you will get familiar with the High Key lighting technique and I will show you how to create bright and soft images indoor, without any elaborate lighting setup.

We will analyse in-dept multiple examples - shot both: indoor and outdoor. Every photo is presented with accompanying histogram and you will have a chance to learn about this basic and very important tool when it comes to evaluating photos.

Your project for the class will be creating a High Key image - the subject is up to you, as long as it is something bright. You can shoot with your digital camera, analog or even with your smartphone - it’s meant to be fun!

At the end of this class you will know how to get soft light in your photos and how to effectively evoke positive emotions in your images with the High Key Effect.
