                	Tuesday, September 03, 2013                	Characters On Location: Telling Stories With Light12:00pm - 07:00pm | 
                    							Pre-Conference Workshops					
On location shoot with characters that could include firefighters, ballerinas, fashion models, circus folks. Interesting people in an interesting place. Big flash. Small flash. Constant light. Available light. What could go wrong?
The day starts in class with Joe McNally as he describes and shows the basics of light, and when you might want to use a particular type of light to describe a scene. Hard light, soft light, multiple light, gelled light with a color, lighting the foreground with one look and the background with another–all will be shown and discussed in a free wheeling Q&A designed to get the class ready for the location. While all this is happening, that location is being prepared with models, makeup, lighting, assistants–the whole nine yards of on location flash photography. Participants will get to rotate to different “sets,” each manned by an experienced assistant or lighting rep, while Joe rotates from set to set, discussing strategies, lighting effects, and modifiers. You will have access to small flash, big flash, and constant light sources, all deployed for you so that you can experiment with the language of light, and tell the story of your subject. The basics of using one light are covered, as well as advanced techniques like high speed sync flash and rim lighting. Experiment with gear ranging from one small speed light to a 74″ Octa fitted with a studio strobe. No one keeps a class entertained like Joe and his knowledgeable crew, so a day of lighting and laughs is guaranteed.
Lunch and transportation provided. Limited to 45 participants.
