Lighting Your Still‑Life Using Household Lamps

Néstor Pérez-Molière

Interested in this class? Email us and we'll notify you next time it runs.

In this do-it-yourself lighting mini-workshop, Néstor Pérez-Molière will demonstrate ideas on how to light your still life utilizing a variety of household lamps and items to manipulate light. We will also talk about how lighting can convey emotions and what common household items you can use to manipulate light. Questions and discussion is encouraged in this 90-minute interactive session.

Mini-Workshops may have higher enrollment than our other classes.

Thanks for a really helpful class! I enjoyed each session — well designed, with the right amount of photo critique and theory — and I feel much more comfortable handling my camera now. You offered great atmosphere in the sessions and provided really useful feedback and practical tips. Crucial for myself: Photography is getting closer and closer to my heart and I'm eager to keep my photography practice going and keep shooting almost daily to improve – and to find my voice as a photographer. Thank you for helping me taking these next steps! Hope we see each other in future classes!

Thank you Nestor, for a fun and illuminating DIY lighting class. I loved your combined free-wheeling “go for it” approach with the gentle but rigorous critiques. I learned a lot about intentionally “sculpting” with light to create mood and content. I also appreciate your willingness to be vulnerable in showing and talking about your personal work, which meant a lot to me. You created a mini-community of sharing and learning. Muchas gracias!

His practice takes place mainly in the realm of photography, but also incorporates performance, drawing, video, installation, and intaglio techniques.
