If you’ve always wanted to learn to create images that evoke emotion and tell a story, assisted by beautiful lighting and subject direction, now is your chance to experience this opportunity during Kristian Dowling’s visit to South Australia. What would it be like to capture the intimacy of two people in love? A couple’s private moments are rarely seen, not captured. However, if you were to capture it, how would you go about doing it with honesty and in good taste? The answers to these questions will be explored during this cinematic experience.

This is the story we will be creating on the day with our guest actors. The goal is to use our imagination as a group to collectively put together different scenarios that would mimic scenes in either real life or a romantic movie, that can be translated into a beautiful picture story – all in low light. The techniques you will learn can also be utilised in your daily photography.

We will be utilising mostly available light, but when required, we will also be using artificial light (LED) to mimic natural light and shadow to create more artistic and striking portraits with the mood and tone we are accustomed to seeing in the cinema.

What to bring:

1. Digital camera
2. Lenses between 21 – 200mm
3. Positive attitude 🙂

*No computer, flash or tripod is required.
