Anti strobist workshop (aka - Available light portraiture). Sunday July 20

view profile

PIPstamatic is a group administrator PIPstamatic says:

Sunday July 20, 2008. Meet at Gino's Cafe, 1-5 South Terrace Fremantle WA. for a 1.30pm start.
Weather forecast: http://www.weather.com.au/wa/perth

I might get my jollies out of being the class clown but I do have a serious side. Join me on a photowalk through the streets, arcades and back alleys of the beautiful historic port city of Fremantle. The focus will be light. Available and ambient light specifically, and primarily in regard to portraiture. Flash and strobes will be banned (if caught you will be egged and sent home in disgrace).

What is it? Where does it come from? What do you look for and how do you see it? What affects it and how is it influenced? We'll look at the effects of natural and man-made structures. Directional verses diffuse. Harsh verses soft.

Proposed agenda:
(1) 1pm - Meet at a Gino's on South Terrace.
(2) 1.30 - Preamble and introduction to various concepts of light and seeing in the confined alleyways off Paddy Troy Mall.
(3) 2pm - Exploring concepts further with and introduction to multi-directional light in the arcades and back alleys near the High St Mall.
(4) 2.20 - Meander west down High St looking for and analysing the light and its inherent qualities for portraiture.
(5) 2.40 - Bounce reflection and highly directional light in some of my favourite side streets like Mouat St.
(6) 3pm - Exploring light in the various spaces and structures around the Round House and sea shore.
(7) 3.20 - Continue south past Kidogo to Bathers Beach and McDonalds for light refreshment or a 50c soft serve.
(8) 3.50 - Trees and natural structures, shadows, black reflectors and light absorption at The Esplanade park.
(9) 4.30 - Discussion, debrief and conclusion at Little Creatures.
(10) Till late - Pizza and pasta for the stayers at La Porchetta.


Click to view large.


There will be plenty of opportunity for pics along the way. Portrait and otherwise. Remember to bring your cameras and cards or film. (No flash) Tripod is optional. A volunteer model or two are most welcome but not necessary. We'll take turns anyway. It's important to see the effects of a given light on various facial structures and skin types.

Who's interested, and who can make Sunday July 13?
Edit: Changed date to the 20th.

The tale of the Pirate and the Police Woman

There once was a pirate named PJ ...

anyway, I find myself imagining a naked PJ being chatted, arrested and handcuffed (forcefully) by two lady coppers in front of twenty or more Photographers In Perth ...
and I keep wondering ...
just which one of this gathering is the Urban Princess?

@ Brett - This sounds good. I'm keen to be there. Available at mo But could have family committments. So a maybe for now.

You should probably add Kim Cottrell (at least as a maybe) cause he told me about it last week and sounded keen.

BTW - I had trouble finding this thread cause nothing about Freo or the date in the title.

Cheers
