Lighting Focus Group – Kick off

I will be coordinating the club’s Lighting Focus Group, which will kick off with a Zoom presentation on Thursday, September 19th, at 7 PM.

During this session, we’ll dive into the basics of flash photography and I will show a few examples of work to hopefully inspire you. We’ll also discuss how the group will operate, covering the mix of online and practical sessions planned for the coming months. Additionally, we’ll briefly touch on the very little equipment you’ll need to get started.

I’ve attached an outline of the topics we’ll be exploring over the next few months, along with a brief questionnaire. If you’re interested in joining, please reach out via the email provided in the document. It would be helpful if you could complete the questionnaire so I can get a sense of everyone’s experience level. Everyone is welcome!
