SUMMARY:Hunt's Photo Experience: From Fear to Flash (Small Light Edition) with Westcott- Hunt’s Photo Providence
DESCRIPTION:Join Westcott Lighting and Hunt’s Photo Education for a brief discussion on lighting followed by a chance to use lighting gear\, modifiers\, and more with models in this weekday evening photo experience! \nGreat lighting doesn’t have to mean hauling around a truckload of gear—or draining your bank account. In this class\, JC Carey will show you how to take your portraits from flat to fantastic using compact strobes\, speed lights\, and affordable constant lights. With tools like the Westcott FJ80II and FJ200\, you’ll discover the freedom and power of small\, portable flashes that pack a serious punch. Add in the Ice Light 3 for cinematic\, go-anywhere illumination\, or the budget-friendly L120B and U60B LEDs for beautiful continuous light at a price that won’t make your wallet weep—and suddenly you’ve got a toolkit that’s lightweight\, versatile\, and downright fun. \nJC’s teaching blends humor\, real-world problem-solving\, and clear\, simple techniques that make lighting approachable—even if you’ve been afraid to take your flash out of the camera’s hot shoe. You’ll learn how to sculpt light\, balance it with ambient\, and create images that go way beyond “good enough\,” all while proving that great service\, great light\, and great prices can happily live in the same sentence. \nWhether you’re brand new to lighting or just looking to expand your creative options without overloading your camera bag\, this class will leave you ready to go from fear to flash—with small lights\, smart solutions\, and big results.

SUMMARY:Hunt's Portrait Workshop: Dragging the Shutter and Other Creative Lighting Portrait Effects- Hunt's Photo\, Melrose
DESCRIPTION:Educators Paul Nelson and Henry Marte lead this fun and challenging workshop that delves into dragging the shutter\, motion\, and other creative lighting effects for portraits! Dragging the Shutter is a technique used where we keep the shutter of the camera open for longer in order to create a sense of movement. It is achieved using a combination of lighting tools and can create a myriad of effects where every photo is a unique creation! We will also work on other fun creative lighting techniques and tools\, including projection mounts\, fresnels\, gobos\, and adding artificial smoke to create depth.\nYou do not need to have any prior knowledge of how to achieve these effects. \nWe will specifically be using Nanlite and Aputure LED lights and Westcott strobes\, but the concepts can apply to any lights you own. \nThis will be a fun day of portraits and not to be missed! \nAbout Henry Marte\nHenry is a published photographer and credited filmmaker. He specializes in various forms of photography\, including portrait\, events\, headshots\, drone\, and commercial photography. Other than attending MassArt’s Documentary Film School\, he is almost entirely self taught. He runs a small media production studio called Marte Media\, based out of Western Avenue Studios in Lowell. Some of his clients include Spartan Race\, UMass Lowell\, Phillips Academy\, Navigation Brewing Company\, and more. Originally from NYC\, he now calls Lowell\, Massachusetts his home. He enjoys New York style pizza\, walks with a camera\, and hiking to active volcanoes.

SUMMARY:Hunt's Horror Lighting Portrait Workshop V: What We Shoot in the Shadows (with guest photographer Lindsey Ruth)
DESCRIPTION:It’s the scariest time of the year…again! No\, we’re not talking about tax season– It’s Halloween! Join us for our annual Horror Lighting Portrait Workshop! In this workshop\, we will create portraits utilizing a style of lighting reminiscent to that used in Horror films!\nIn this workshop\, we will begin by discussing the style of Horror Lighting\, using examples from the history of horror\, from classic 1930s Universal horror films to 1980s slasher to more modern\, experimental techniques. Instructor Paul Nelson has spent painstaking hours and buckets of popcorn to research the intricacies of horror\, and\, believe it or not\, it’s not all just “monster lighting”. We will photograph both inside and (if weather allows) outside to both recreate and create new in-the-style-of scenes to photograph. We will utilize both our Hunt’s Photo Melrose classrooms as well as locations in the surrounding area to great effect. We’ll discuss how to light and what to use\, create shadows and textures\, use studio space and real-life locations\, work with models and more!\nIn this workshop\, we will cover:\n• How to compose the lighting in a scene\, including how and when to use flash vs LED\n• Flash and LED lighting (important enough to write it on here twice)\n• Using lighting indoor or outside\n• Creating dynamic shadows and effects in your work with lighting\, as well as other light modification\n• How to work with (posing and directing) models to achieve a desired look\n• Developing a creative concept in portraits\, not only using lighting and posing\, but also costumes\, hair\, and make-up\nYou do not need to own a flash or lighting to attend this workshop. Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend. \nAdded Bonus! \nThis year\, we will be joined by guest photographer and SIGMA Ambassador Lindsey Ruth\, as well as SIGMA lenses! We’re incredibly excited to have more insight and experience for what some of us (*cough Paul*) consider to be our favorite workshop of the year! \nJoin us for this unique\, fun\, and perhaps horrific workshop!
