Live Workshop — Post Production Techniques


In this live show Karl demonstrates how, by thinking outside the box and applying an understanding of light, it’s possible to achieve great results, even when photographing simple subjects. Consisting of theoretical explanations and practical demonstrations, this information packed show covers some of the essentials of studio lighting and how these can be applied for creative effect.

Throughout this show Karl demonstrates important theoretical concepts relating to light and colour that can be used to better control studio lighting, including how the size of the light impacts the hardness or softness of the light, how to mix hard and soft light and how to create completely shadowless light. Using a variety of modifiers, Karl also demonstrates how to easily create an affordable DIY alternative for projection attachments.

He then creates two different still-life setups: the first of which demonstrates the importance of colour; and a second, more conceptual shoot, that shows how narrative, emotion and anticipation can be used to create interesting still life imagery.
