Photography enthusiasts in Old Lyme are in for a treat as the Connecticut Valley Camera Club (CVCC) gears up to host a hands-on workshop focused on mastering technical lighting indoors. Scheduled for March 4, at the Old Lyme PGN Library, the event promises to illuminate the art of creating studio-quality lighting conditions in confined spaces.

Workshop Overview: A Beacon for Budding Photographers

The upcoming workshop is designed to cater to photographers interested in tabletop and reflective object photography. Under the guidance of skilled photographers, participants will learn how to manipulate small off-camera strobes to achieve their desired lighting outcomes. Drawing inspiration from David Hobby’s renowned “Strobist” series, the session will delve into the versatility of using compact lighting solutions to craft a variety of lighting environments within a small workspace.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their cameras to the workshop. The session is structured to be interactive, with photography stations set up for participants to experiment with achieving the perfect shot. It’s highlighted that cameras equipped with a flash Hot Shoe are necessary for activating the remote flash trigger, a crucial component for participating in the workshop. While not mandatory, a good grasp of manual exposure settings is advantageous, and the use of tripods, although not required, is suggested.
