Cinematic Lighting Workshop - April 21st

Cinematic Lighting Workshop

Presented by the NoDa Art House Foundation

Led by @gbennettfilms

Step beyond “just lighting” and start shaping emotion, depth, and story.

In this Cinematic Lighting Workshop, you’ll learn to think like a cinematographer—using light not just to illuminate, but to guide the viewer’s eye and create mood. We’ll break down the essential tools and techniques behind cinematic images, from light quality and modifiers to contrast control and exposure decisions.

Through hands-on exercises, you’ll see the real differences between hard and soft light, experiment with tools like softboxes and china balls, and learn how negative fill and exposure adjustments can completely transform a scene.
