National Art gallery and Natural Light

On Saturday, I had a lot of fun learning with a small group of like-minded students of photography. We were at the National Art Gallery of Canada as part of the Harry Nowell workshop that I mentioned in my last post. The goal of the workshop was to learn how to deal with and control natural lighting. This included flash as well as exposure. Harry had also arranged for volunteer models. For me, working with models is a personal stretch: some people and environments I’m okay, others I need to pour a lot of energy into. I’ve included some examples of the types of lighting and subjects we had.

Many thanks to all the models and fellow students who participated. I learned from everyone. To see the photography of some of the other students, please visit them here Lou Truss and Sandra Finner. You’ll find they are a talented bunch of photographers worth spending time with.
