This past weekend I taught another photography class, I was really looking forward to this class as it was a comprehensive lighting course.
We, my good friend and fellow photog, Rashad Penn of @rashadpennphotography.com, and I have been jointly teaching for the past 5 years. We both hold the view that knowledge is only valuable when it is passed on to others.
Through this class we taught the theory behind lighting, the equipment used, things like wireless triggers and the various flash/speedlight/strobe options, modifiers and lighting patterns. After the theory we had the students shoot images of the model we hired. It was so rewarding to see the students eyes light up when they viewed the images they were capturing.
Below is a sample image I captured as I was teaching how to use a beaty dish and a reflector to create a very simple beauty image.
