Capture breathtaking images of dancers in the rain at our newest workshop, “Dancing in the Rain,” featuring cutting-edge LED lighting technology.
Employ the continuously falling water, variable LED color temperature, and custom White Balance on your camera for unique results, where we separate the dancers from the rain with color as well as sharpness. George will be using IP rated Nanlite/Nanlux lighting during this workshop, perfect for applications and situations involving water.
Unlike traditional strobes, LEDs allow for slow shutter speeds, graphically depicting the water’s motion as streaks, and creating a cinematic feel. Clients today expect both stills and motion on each shoot: our workshop enables you to capture in both formats, simultaneously. If you’re comfortable with capturing motion, you’ll come home with both – if you want to focus on stills, you’ll be able to capture many hundreds of great images (there’s no limit as to how many, as the lighting is continuous!)
Join us on Sunday, November 16, in our new downtown studio with the exclusive “full-body rain room.”
For the first time in Los Angeles, the attendees of this workshop will have access to the new Nanlux Evoke 600C. The Nanlux Evoke 600C is a powerful and compact LED spotlight with an unparalleled 8-chip light engine that mixes Deep Red, Red, Amber, Lime, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Indigo LEDs to deliver vivid colors and a notably wide and accurate CCT range of 1000K-20000K with an additional range of ±200 of G/M adjustment.
Bring a telephoto lens (70-200mm zoom or 85mm prime) and a sturdy/heavy tripod for optimal results, as we’ll be shooting at 1/50 of a second! Samy’s Camera Rentals offers lenses and/or tripods (limited availability: reserve in advance when registering for the class).
Don’t miss our pre-workshop Zoom seminar on the technical aspects of LED lighting and logistics, on Thursday, November 13. After the workshop, learn image editing techniques in the post-workshop seminar, on Monday, November 17.
Participants will be required to submit their best 25 shots for feedback, sharing with the dancers, and posting on a class web page.
Limited spots are available (all our previous RAIN workshops have sold out) so secure your spot today for this exceptional opportunity to master the art of dance photography with LED lighting. Elevate your skills and create extraordinary images!
