"Industrial Lighting Magic" - Workshop Content and Itinerary Please make sure to review "What to Bring" for any workshop. "Industrial Lighting Magic" will be an intermediate to advanced workshop focusing on the theme of crafting and lighting metal-based industrial sets. Adam will be bringing to the workshop a number of metal components specifically featured in his portfolio images. Participants will gain insight into the physical components involved in creating sets in this style, as well as learning principles of effective photographic lighting for the industrial/metal theme. Topics will include: **The basics of lighting metal: Utilizing inherent reflective qualities, avoiding pitfalls, and minimizing hot spots. **Capturing the textures of metal: Including diamond plate, flat steel, chains, expanded steel, and perforated metal. **The "mood" of metal: From bright and shining to rust and grunge, and use of gels to color metal. **Crafting metal sets: The use of metal components both as backgrounds and as means of generating shadows. **Lighting a model in the set, both separately and integrated with metal set elements. During this workshop, Adam will direct the assembly of a set utilizing these elements. He will give step-by-step demonstrations of lighting the set for the various mentioned effects. From there, the workshop will progress into advanced lighting techniques involving integrating a model into the set as part of an industrial scene. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to apply what they have learned by shooting on set with the workshop's featured model. Participants will receive a promotional model release for non-commercial portfolio use of images shot during the workshop.
