3 x 1-LIGHT LIGHTING Techniques for FASHION PORTRAITURE

In this film Mark shows you how you can utilise the exact same space within a studio (whether it be large or small) but create several different looks and feels to your images within. In this one Mark uses his beloved checked flooring in a way that it is not conventionally used as today it will be working as a background.

Academy LIVE - Ice Princess

In this Academy live broadcast, Mark brings a bit of creative to the session to inspire you all to pick up the camera and capture some images. In todays setup, Mark uses two lights, One being lit from behind within the Lastolite Hi-Lite background, bouncing off of the back of the background and drowning out the back of the image. The second Light that Mark uses is an Elinchrom D-LITE One that is sent up into the sky to give a more dramatic light and bring a more fine art look and feel to the final images.

Academy LIVE - The Red Dress

Join us as Mark Cleghorn airs LIVE from Studio One of The Photographer Academy in Barry, South Wales. In today's film Mark shoots "The Red Dress" with the Academy's Lockdown Model, Kelsie.

BACKGROUNDS & LIGHTING

In this film Mark Cleghorn shoots with the amazing Model Anna, shooting a film that revolves around backgrounds. Today Mark will show you two background and lighting choices that will completely change the look and feel to your images. When investing into backgrounds, you can go one of two ways, you can either go simple and easy by simply setting up a White or Black wall or you can take the second route with setting up a more stylised look. It is imperative that before you invest into these types of looks and feels that you really look into what works for you and the look and feel you intend on creating through your images.

Inspired: Marilyn Monroe Portrait

In this session Today, Mark is working within his Studio One Church Window with his model on the ledge of the window, shooting with flash to bring a light and bright tonality to his overall image. Later in the shoot, Mark then brings his model forward with the light coming from behind to give her the natural separation. So this film is all about controlling the strobe light alongside the natural daylight within the ambiance of the set as a whole.

Working with HARD LIGHT for FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY

Mark demonstrates how to effectively use hard light within a studio environment. Mark makes the point that not a lot of professional photographers utilize hard light within their portraiture sessions and this video is made to show that you not only can shoot some amazing images by just using one light but also you can achieve a lot more without even moving the light in use.
