Restaging paintings using photography

- Apply manual exposure settings in studio lighting
- Compose according to colour relationships, texture, and shadows
- Experiment with light quality and light direction using studio flash
- Explore narrative and symbolic characteristics of the still life
- Direct people and use props effectively.
- Use existing paintings as source to compose and art direct photographs.

You will be required to bring objects and props in order to create your compositions. You will be informed of what to bring prior to the class after enrolment.

Please bring your camera (if you have one) to the classes and you may wish to bring a notebook and pen. The City Lit has a range of Digital SLR cameras, tripods, speedlights (flash guns) and lenses which you are welcome to use during the hours of the class. It would be useful to bring a memory stick (or portable hard drive – please note: PC formatted hard drives can be read by Apple mac computers, but not written to).
