Jay Alonzo’s Primer on Lighting

Ricky — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 06:50:19 +0000

Like what I’ve mentioned in my earlier post, I attended the course entitled Primer on Lighting conducted by the Ayala Foundation, Inc. (Alcove Perspective) at the Filipinas Heritage Library in Makati. Jay Alonzo a well-known fashion & celebrity Photographer facilitated the workshop.

It was a 2 day seminar of pure talk, if you’re looking for a lecture/shoot type of seminar with models posing in front, this is not for you. But, if you’re looking for a strong foundation & better understanding of lights, lighting behaviour & designing your own lighting style, I’d highly recommend that you take this course.

I will quote Jay’s final word to us, “what I want is for you to understand & design your own lighting style.”

Primer on Lighting Workshop

I got this e-mail from Ayala Foundation, inc.:

Primer on Lighting
October 24-25 at 6:00–9:30 p.m.

This pioneering course in the local photography scene is dedicated solely to the discussion of lighting concepts and techniques. It allows the participants to:

Learn the fundamental principles of lighting

Master the primary controllable characteristics of light

Become familiar with the different lighting tools used in the studio and on location

Master the systematic way of setting up lighting

Be able to “read” lighting conditions for best lighting design and exposure

Have a practical session applying the fundamental controllable characteristics of light in setting up artificial lighting

Requirement

Basic working knowledge on photography, particularly exposure setting; or must have at least taken Photo 101 or Digital 101

Optional: a camera with manual exposure control, exposure-flash meter

Venue

Reading Room, Filipinas Heritage Library, Makati Avenue, Ayala Triangle, Makati City (across The Peninsula Manila)

Speaker

Jay Alonzo personally designed the structure and contents of this workshop, after realizing the lack of emphasis on the in-depth discussion of lighting design and control in most local photo classes, and the lack of short courses that particularly deal with photographic lighting. As such, Jay, in partnership with The Alcove Perspective, first introduced the Primer on Lighting course in the summer of 2002.

I already enrolled for this workshop about 3 weeks ago & it will start today at 6 in the evening.
