Learn the beautiful art of Light Painting with Still Life

Learn the beautiful art of Light Painting with Still Life with Julie Powell. Learn to create stunning art from small everyday items, by harnessing and learning to ‘Paint’ with light.

Learn the basics of Light Painting, with Still Life. Turn everyday items into works of art by using these techniques to create a painterly effect by just using a few simple tools. The technique used to create a "sculpture" or painterly effect, is unlike standard photography and can be at once simple to learn, but with practice more complex images and scenes can be created. Through the manipulation of light, colours, and shadows, we can make small details stand out and accentuate or alter the look and feel of your subject. It does not necessarily require any specialists tools, but everything required will be supplied, with the exception of camera gear.

Learn to see light in a whole new way, all items for subject, props, lighting and staging are supplied, you only need your camera gear. If you have done Light Painting on a large scale and enjoy Still Life...you are going to love this class.
