Artist lecture: Tom Wright, 9/28/09

Tom Wright is a professional commercial photographer who works in Richmond. He gave a lecture on Monday, September 28th for the studio lighting class. The balk of the lecture was spent explaining how he photographed each photo that is displayed in his portfolio on his website. He also gave two lighting demos. In the first demo he shot a student with a professional grade ring flash and gave us several tips on how to properly use one. In the second demo he took us into the studio and showed us a lighting set up that he has used for many of his photos. Throughout the lecture Wright fed us several helpful tidbits about commercial photography and what is expected of a commercial photographer depending on the level of the client.
