In this video, learn how to illuminate a scene with studio lighting.
- [Instructor] Any presentation is an experience…designed for an audience.…Some presentations have a scientific rigor about them.…Forensic reconstructions are an example…where objective representation is very important.…Other presentations such as advertisements…and sales pitches rely more on theatrical flair…and artistic interpretation.…Studio lighting is a photographic discipline…that uses a variety of techniques…to portray subjects in particular ways…to art direct the image.…
Usually the aim is to produce a particular…emotional response in the viewer.…Studio lights generally exist outside…the narrative frame of the image.…They are non diegetic scene elements.…Lights can be placed and sized anywhere…to achieve desired artistic outcomes.…Studio lighting is a great example…of using subtle artificial effects…to enhance visual interest and establish a mood.…Practical light or available light…is almost never very interesting.…
Real world photographers have been enhancing reality…for nearly 200 years.…And painters of course have been doing it since forever.…
