  International Center of Photography School

  Oct 2016 - Nov 2016

  Teaching Assistants for Studio Lighting

  As a Teaching Assistant in Frank Franca's "An Emphasis on Light and Style" workshop at ICP, I supported a dynamic learning environment focused on exploring lighting in photography. This class delved into the artistic and psychological aspects of lighting, encouraging students to view light as a tool for narrative and emotional impact in image-making. We covered a range of topics from the technicalities of tungsten and strobe lighting to the application of light in various photographic genres and styles. The course emphasized hands-on learning, with practical assignments and critiques to develop a sophisticated understanding of lighting and its influence on composition, mood, and storytelling in photography.
