Lighting Workshop - " lighting for the soul "
Lighting Workshop with Brett Harkness
Join me for an exclusive, hands-on lighting workshop at my studio in Lytham! This close-up and personal session is designed for photographers who want to master the art of light and take their skills to the next level.
During the workshop, we’ll dive deep into studio lighting setups, exploring how to shape and control light to bring your vision to life. We’ll also work with off-camera flash techniques, perfect for creating dramatic, professional-quality images in any environment. And for those looking to truly push creative boundaries, we’ll experiment with "painting the subject with light," a technique that transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary works of art.
But it’s not just about technical know-how—this workshop is about understanding the motivation behind the light. I’ll help you see how light tells a story, conveys emotion, and elevates your photography to new heights.
With a limited number of attendees ( only 4 ) this workshop promises an intimate and interactive experience, allowing you to ask questions, try out techniques, and gain personalised feedback. Whether you're just starting with lighting or looking to refine your expertise, this session will leave you inspired and ready to create.
What you will need:
Camera & your favourite lens for portraits ( the studio isn’t huge so we will be working in a smaller space so a 70-90mm would be good.
Workbook to take notes ( if you want to )
Indoor & outdoor clothing - we may also shoot a set up outside ( weather dependant )
What we will look to teach ( various details may change up to the date but we will look to cover - amongst other things)
Using light to paint the subject
Lighting techniques indoors ( & hopefully outdoors )
Layering the light
Giving the light motivation
Using small sets to create beautiful ethereal images
Shooting with haze
Using ND filters to add a different quality of light
