PRACTICAL WEDDING LIGHTING WORKSHOP

WITH BRADLEY HENDERSON

(Bradley Henderson Photography)

Aimed at teaching practical lighting skills that can be used in real life wedding settings. We will use a REAL couple, and shoot the day as if it was a real wedding.

Aimed to support all levels of photographer, however we will assume a baseline of knowing how to operate your camera in manual mode.

14TH AUGUST 2023 TIMETABLE

  • 10:30 Intro and Gear

    Introduction to the day, get to know everyone, chat about the day and format, meet our couple.

  • 10:50 Shooting Prep

    Having a look at some natural light as well as flash and LED lighting options for creating some interesting moments during prep with both Bride and groom.

  • 12:30 Church/Chapel Setups

    We've been granted access to a local church building to shoot some dramatic portraiture typically seen at the end of the ceremony while the guests are outside waiting to take their own pictures. This time will focus on portraits rather than ceremony lighting as generally we will have little control over that.

  • 14:00 Lunch and Chat

    A chance to get your head away from the camera a little and chat to myself and other participants.

  • 15:00 Evening Portraits - Montalto Estate

    Here we will have a look at creating some of the moments that your couple will frame and admire for the rest of their lives. Emphasis will be on posed setups both as a couple and bride and groom on their own.

  • 16:00 Dancefloor Setups

    Whether you choose to wire up four flashes around the room or just fire a speedlight on top of your camera we will have solutions that will suit everyone's workflow.

  • 17:00 Evening Portraits Outside

    Another opportunity to shoot some beautiful portraiture for the couple using whatever weather situation we are given.
