Light painting workshops
Welcome to the Light Painting with Lee Photography Workshops, where creativity meets long exposure techniques to produce stunning and unique images. This workshop is designed to introduce you to the art of light painting, a dynamic photography style that uses controlled light sources to create striking visual effects in-camera. The workshops are open to beginners and more experienced photographers.
What to expect
Throughout the session, you will learn how to master exposure settings, experiment with different light tools, and develop techniques to craft mesmerising compositions. Whether you’re a beginner looking to explore a new skill or an experienced photographer wanting to expand your creative toolkit, this hands-on workshop will provide you with the knowledge and practical experience to bring your artistic vision to life.
The workshops will take place in a blackout room. This is the perfect environment to start your light painting journey. Once you have learned the technique in an indoor environment, you will have the skills to take your light painting into the world.
