Mastering Low Light Workshop by Kristian Dowling
Following the success of Kristian Dowling's workshops in Bangkok, Malaysia and Singapore, he's offering this workshop for the second time in his hometown - Melbourne. Shooting in low light can be a daunting task, and this workshop simplifies the process while ensuring the highest quality results are achieved. While some think that mastering low light is about shooting with fast apertures at high ISO, Dowling’s workshops prove that there is much more to it. This workshop is also the only one of its kind, where most night time photography workshops focus on cityscapes with tripod.
The workshop focuses on enhancing your skills to be able to deal with shooting in low light in any situation, without a tripod and with amazing results, and instilling confidence in your ability to work in any lighting condition. This is followed by a practical shooting experience using ambient and LED lights with the goal of achieving pictures that look dramatic, yet natural. Following the shoot, participants then go back and inspect/critique the results together, or on the following day, based on time and preference. This aspect of the workshop is crucial for further development. If the timing is not suitable, review can be done by e-mail or Skype correspondence, at no further cost.
While participants work with a model during the workshop, the aim is to help you develop skills that you can apply in everyday photography of friends, family and your chosen creative subjects. As a coach, Dowling’s personal aim is to have you walk away with a new understanding and skill set that propels your photography to the next level, and the workshop is followed up with continued communication to ensure this.
The workshop commences with a 1.5 hour tutorial on all the intricacies of working in low light, and provides a deep insight into the problems and solutions associated with this area. The three main topics cover dealing with ambient light, adding light, and subtracting light, using LED and flash.
