PCS: Cinematic Lighting and Storytelling with Chris Knight (Fujifilm, Profoto)

Learn to think like a filmmaker by infusing your still photography with cinematic flare and telling more compelling visual stories. Join Chris Knight to explore how filmmakers help define their visual tastes and how you can use it in your still images. Topics include three-point lighting (the way they do it in the movies), motivated lighting, cinematic color theory, and other in-camera techniques to give your images that ‘movie magic’. Bring home the drama, mystery and flavor of the movies, one frame at a time.

His work has appeared in or on Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, L Official, GQ, People, MSNBC, ABC, Oxygen, Ocean Drive, and others.
