Today Commercial Photographer, Simon Manchipp from www.sorted.tv who has worked as a freelance photographer Mixmag, Saturday Telegraph, Superdrug came along to college and gave our group a lighting induction. One of the first activities I took part in was titled drawing with light. Using a combination of a slow exposure, a torch, a model, photographer and a couple of assistants we as a small team were able to create intersting images. The idea of using the slow exposure would create streams of light and then using the flash units we were able to fill in specific areas with light.
Simon demonstarted that you don't need to have complicated lighting set ups to get great results. On the day I was asked to bring an image I liked so that we could attempt to recreate the image in the studio. Once we established where in the image the light source was coming from. Understading that great images can be created from just one light, reflectors were introduced on set to reach areas where the light was not hitting. After the group were happy, we decided to capture the subject and then look at the image to see what we could do to improve it. Working as part of a production team each person in the team was allocated a specific role and responsibility whether it was being the photographer, managing the lights or lookingafter props.
