4-Week Class: Thursdays 1/6, 1/13, 1/20 & 1/ 27, 4:00pm EST
In this class we will investigate the composition rules and lighting techniques of great masters of photography as well as other media to glean techniques that can be used in our own work. While it is not necessary to have photographic lighting it is useful to have some type of moveable lighting. We will also talk about equipment and make use of common place objects to aid in our image creation.
(Please note: This class is being offered in conjunction with other Art Centers in the state. Participants will be from around New York State and not limited to local LPCA students.)
