Hunt’s Horror Lighting Portrait Workshop V: What We Shoot in the Shadows with Sigma Ambassador Lindsey Ruth

Join Sigma at Hunt’s Photo for the annual Horror Lighting Portrait Workshop! We will begin by discussing the style of Horror Lighting, using examples from the history of horror, from classic 1930s Universal horror films to 1980s slasher to more modern, experimental techniques. Instructor Paul Nelson has thouroughly researched the intricacies of horror, and, believe it or not, it’s not all just “monster lighting”. Paul will discuss how to light and what to use, create shadows and textures, use studio space and real-life locations, work with models and more!

In this workshop, you’ll learn:

• How to compose the lighting in a scene, including how and when to use flash vs LED
• Flash and LED lighting (important enough to write it on here twice)
• Using lighting indoor or outside
• Creating dynamic shadows and effects in your work with lighting, as well as other light modification
• How to work with (posing and directing) models to achieve a desired look
• Developing a creative concept in portraits, not only using lighting and posing, but also costumes, hair, and make-up
  You do not need to own a flash or lighting to attend this workshop. Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.

Added Bonus!
