Mastering Flash Photography
Do you wish you could have more control over the light in your photographs? Flash photography may be the answer — and it doesn’t have to be intimidating! A strong understanding of flash photography is important if you want to have full control over a scene, regardless of the weather or ambient lighting conditions. This course will cover extensive discussions on light, the use of both in-camera and hot-shoe flash, TTL versus manual metering modes, the use of hand-held light meters, common lighting patterns, syncing multiple flashes, on-site photography, how to modify and manipulate light, and much more. We’ll also look at and analyze the work of a variety of artists using flash photography in creative ways. Supported by in-class critique, students will end the course with a developed portfolio featuring artificial lighting.
Néstor Pérez-Molière was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and currently resides in The Bronx. His practice takes place mainly in the realm of photography, but also incorporates performance, drawing, video, installation, and intaglio techniques. All of these are used in unison as he turns his camera on himself and delves into self-portraiture, exploring his relationship with his body, body image ideals, and food relationships as subject matter.
Nestor has an MFA from Hunter College and holds a BSc in botany. He was part of the Artist in the Marketplace and Creative Capital’s Taller mentorship programs, and was part of The Bronx Museum of the Art’s Fourth Biennial. He has exhibited at the Museo de las Américas, the Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural and Educational Center, Longwood Gallery, and the Liga de Artes de San Juan. He currently teaches digital and darkroom photography at the International Center of Photography and The Point CDC.
