CLASS DESCRIPTION
Welcome to our Wedding reception lighting class!
In order to get the most out of this course, we highly encourage that all students have a basic understanding of speed lights and have used them before. Additionally, we ask that all students be proficient in shooting manual photography, as this will be the primary mode used throughout the class.
I have had lots of requests for different ways to light up a reception or what light to start with. So I wanted to share my experiences with you and show you ways to overcome tricky wedding reception lighting.
During our time together, we will cover a variety of lighting techniques and setups. From basic one speed light on and off camera, incorporating continuous lights for details and finally how I like to set up for a reception.
To ensure that you get the most out of this class, we strongly recommend that you bring your own:
Dancing shoes (yes! dancing shoes) camera, speed light, trigger (if you have one), and modifier along with any other lighting equipment you may have or want to try. This will allow you to practice the techniques we cover in class and get immediate feedback. If you don’t have lights i’m sure we will have no problem sharing.
So come prepared to learn, experiment, and have fun with lighting! We're excited to see what you can create with your newfound knowledge and skills.
One more thing to keep in mind before we get started: during this experience, we will be using each other as our dance floor subjects to practice the lighting techniques we cover in class. This means that you may be photographed by your fellow classmates, so please come prepared to be in front of the camera as well as behind it and don’t forget those dancing shoes!!
Hello all I’m Casey, let me tell you a bit about myself.
As a seasoned photographer with 15 years of working experience, I have had the pleasure of working in various roles in the industry. The first five years I was with a traveling school photo company where I photographed students. For the past decade, I have been working at Gene's Camera Store in South Bend, IN where I have gained extensive experience in using, selling, and educating others on photography equipment along with some tips and trick sprinkled in there. In addition, I also work as a freelance photographer at the University of Notre Dame along with photographing weddings and seniors.
Throughout my career, I have invested endless hours in my own training with schooling and attended various conventions to further my skills and knowledge. I am a firm believer that there is always more to learn in the photography industry and I am committed to staying up-to-date on the latest trends and techniques. Trust me im still learning every day!
One of my greatest passions is teaching and sharing my knowledge with others. I believe that everyone has the potential to become a skilled photographer and I am committed to helping other develop their skills and confidence. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced photographer, I am excited to work with you and help you achieve your goals.
With my extensive experience, industry knowledge, and passion for teaching, I am confident that I can provide you with the skills and guidance needed to take your photography to the next level.
Let's work together to create something beautiful!
