Industrial Lighting Magic
Adam Chilson, instructor
April 26, 2008 - 10am-7pm

Featured Model is SCAR!

Our first workshop with Adam on March 29th SOLD OUT - so we are following up and now accepting registrations for "Industrial Lighting Magic," the second in the series.

Images from our first workshop can be found here.

"Industrial Lighting Magic" is 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 covered 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.

The first part of the day will cover discussion and demonstration. The second part of the day will consist of shooting opportunities for all participants with the featured model (TBA) on set. Registration includes promotional model release for portfolio use of images shot at the workshop.

Registration is limited to 8 photographers. Fee is $350 for the full day, and must be paid in advance. For complete workshop details and registration information, please visit the workshop web site contact the studio at 866-334-4364, or email studio@dm-gremlin.com.

Adam's trailer blew out on the way down for the workshop - and we couldn't get the set materials here in time. So we had to cancel it. We were just glad everyone was ok though, that's the most important.

We have two more workshops scheduled now, another basic lighting workshop for June 29th, and another themed workshop in August. Drop a line if you want to participate in either one - we'll be making official announcements with all the details this week.
