Mix the light! – portrait workshop with continuous and flash light
Portrait workshop with Filip Kowalkowski on creatively combining continuous light, flash and long exposures in a single image.
Join Filip Kowalkowski for a portrait-photography workshop combining continuous light and flash.
Portraiture offers endless possibilities. Once you control light, you can build striking scenes, shape mood and create imaginative images. During the workshop we will work with both flash and continuous light and show how to combine them creatively in one photograph. There will also be a segment on light painting with long exposures.
Let your imagination run free and learn to build remarkable frames.
