Mastering Lighting Techniques
Our 2nd tutorial in May will take place this coming Wednesday 22nd May, at 7.00pm at Valentine Bowling Club. Lighting expert John Wallace from C.R.Kennedy will be presenting.
John will conduct a hands-on workshop featuring our new iFootage studio lights. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from one best in the field and discover the basics of how to handle and make the best of these cutting edge LED panels. These same panels will be used in the NPF Portrait Competition at the NPF weekend conference on 27th and 28th July.
