FILMING IN LOW LIGHT: MASTERING NIGHT SHOOTS WITH NIKON SCHOOL
Night time shoots can be intimidating, from figuring out how much ISO you can squeeze out of your camera to navigating atmospheric lighting, it’s no wonder a lot of camera people avoid them like the plague.
That’s why our next camera masterclass we’ll be focusing in on shooting in low light - we’ll be joined by the experts at Nikon School to give a comprehensive run-through of practical tips and advice for night shoots. We’ll also be covering all you need to know about making the switch to mirrorless and give you the low-down on the newly released Z 8 (awarded Camera of the Year 2023).
Like all our masterclasses, the sessions open to all filmmakers, from cinematographers to self-shooters, to actors, directors, producers and more.
FREE | ONLINE | 9 APRIL | 7PM
JOIN THE SP COMMUNITY
“I joined Shooting People and answered an advert for someone looking for a producer, which led to making my first short film. After this I’d caught the bug for producing.”
- Emily Morgan (BAFTA-winning Producer of 'I Am Not a Witch')
