As the word Photography in Greek means Writing with Light, almost all of us will go through the learning curve in understanding the importance of how lighting will affect the look and mood of the photos we take. However, as we learn in science, when there’s light, there will be shadow and it will always appear in the photos we capture which most of us don't notice.
In this workshop, Derrick will share the knowledge and understanding of the importance of how we can improve our photography work using light and shadow.
** Participants are expected to have a solid grasp of the basics of the Triangle of Exposure before enrolling in this course.
We kindly request that you remember to bring your own camera to the workshop, ensuring that the battery is fully charged and the lens is attached.
