Workshops & Classes
Light and Shadow, Exposure - Workshops and Classes
Understanding Natural And Artificial Light, Seeing the Light
Natural light and the nuances of how it effects our images
Attendees should bring to class their camera, some images they wish to discuss or have questions and need answers - pertaining to light and shadow for an exposure evaluation.
The most popular question I receive is, why don't my images look like how I shot them? Understanding light and exposure has much to do with the answer. This workshop is intense. Once you understand the fundamentals you will get better images.
We will process the images created on location, create an approach to style and work with our computers.
Processing Your Images
Many think it's given to get a good exposure. It's not. Images that are too dark and too light can give you hours of work in Post. We show you hands on techniques to work with your Camera, Images and computer to obtain good exposures.
Questions need answers pertaining to light and processing images with various software and hardware techniques based on exposure.
We work on your present workflow and how to improve with techniques we use in the studio to make our processing easier and most of the time, faster.
"Because they are digital.."
Everyone thinks because your images are digital they come out of the camera just right...
Well, to get images "like you saw them," your images need to be processed. That's why this Course ois so important. If you get it right in the camera in the first place you will have more to work with.
Understanding Exposure, Light and Shadow....
Light and Shadow, Exposure - Workshops and Classes
Light is the Image Backbone
Creating a good exposure in photography is an art that requires a harmonious interplay of light, color, and space. Light, the most fundamental element, serves as the backbone of any photograph.
Understanding the qualities of a scene and how to manipulate the light, whether natural or artificial, can dramatically alter the mood, tone, and clarity of an image.
Soft, diffused light often results in more flattering, evenly lit photographs for people, while harsh, direct light can create strong contrasts and dramatic shadows.
Mastering the use of light involves an understanding of its direction, quality, and intensity, and adjusting your camera settings—accordingly, once you know how.
Color can affect Emotions
Color, on the other hand, adds emotional and aesthetic depth to your images. The color temperature of a light source can make a difference to how you shoot an image. Complementary colors can create a vibrant, eye-catching composition, while analogous colors offer a more harmonious and soothing effect. Color theory and how different hues interact can help you make intentional choices about your subject matter and background, enhancing the overall impact of your photograph.
Space and the Arrangement of Elements
Creating a well-balanced and captivating composition relies heavily on space, which is the arrangement of elements within your frame. Composition techniques and negative space can help direct the viewer's focus and add depth and dimension to your photos.
Each layer in an image contributes to the narrative. By skillfully blending light, color, and space, you can produce images that evoke feelings and tell a story, enhancing the impact of your photography.
Prepare Your Photography Gear and Yourself...
Attendees should have a Camera, with lenses, laptop or home computer and software which we can discuss before the workshop/class. We will go shoot photographs. It's recommended to wear something comfortable, weather appropriate and closed toe shoes or sneakers.

Using Your Camera to Tell Stories...
Photography in general alludes to fun and excitement. Photography also brings one to many places both in your minds eye and in the actual photograph. We travel to exotic places with the idea in mind to create equally exotic Photographs. We are travelers, we are adventure seekers and we want to see and do more and capture it through our cameras.
However if we don't know how to do it well, take Photographs... all that excitement dies fast when our Photographs don't look like what we felt and saw when we look at them. Good Photography creates a feeling and better photography get us excited. The old cliché that;
"A picture is worth a thousand Words!"
It's true... I would like to think and hope that some images are worth more words and some Photographs do all the talking. Wouldn't you like to be that Creator? Wouldn't you like to create pictures that speak to your viewing audience?
Take the first step with us at Stanwycks Photography and we will get you on that path today. We will help you understand photography and it's language so much better. You will see!
