Turn on the light for even better photos!
Go back to the basics with your trainer Jens Brüggemann, to the essence of photography: when you use a camera, you paint with light! Therefore, the light should not simply brighten and illuminate the scene, but rather contribute to the "creative accomplishment of a photographic task".
In view of the almost infinite variety of possible motifs, there are no stringent guidelines that must apply absolutely and also for you. However, mistakes can be made that you don't necessarily have to repeat. Expensive investments can be made that are not worth it in the end. And all the technology is useless if the lighting is not assessed with a photographically accurate eye. So before you buy your lighting equipment, draw on the wealth of experience of a professional photographer to help you choose the right lighting for your photography and then use it correctly.
The tutorial contains a total of ten lessons with over 230 PDF pages. The explanations are backed up with clear illustrations that show you examples of different ways to use light and lighting. Starting with the question of what "correct lighting" actually is, Jens Brüggemann takes you from basic considerations through to specific indoor and outdoor examples . The focus is on two main aspects:
Firstly, it should be about the lighting technique itself, why you need it in the first place and which light sources may be relevant. You will receive a comprehensive list of requirements that you should place on your equipment, including expert explanations on aspects such as color temperature stability, the control range, ease of use and electrical safety.
Do you prefer to shoot indoors or outdoors? - Then go for this or that. Or is there perhaps even an alternative that allows you to cover both areas? - Jens Brüggemann provides you with the facts so that you have a better basis for deciding on your upcoming technology investment.
Secondly, the tutorial takes a practical look at lighting management in the studio and outdoors: "The photographer sees every effect caused by changing the light position or light characteristics." - Tips and tricks from an experienced photographer who lets you take a closer look and therefore try out less. In this case, learning from a professional means saving money and avoiding bad purchases .
What will you gain from this course?
You will be able to create a suitable requirements profile for the technology you need before buying additional equipment. This will ultimately make your choice easier! You will also receive numerous tips and tricks on the use of light and lighting during a shoot. You will see where you need to make adjustments before you press the shutter button and you will also know how it works.
