Seminars

Discover the

Educator’s Lighting Seminar (ELS)

and the Student’s Lighting Seminar (SLS)

for photography schools.

broncolor seminars are a well-established platform for learning, networking and seeing the latest equipment in use almost everywhere around the globe. For the broncolor education programme, we designed two standard seminars: the Student’s Lighting Seminar (SLS) and the Educator’s Lighting Seminar (ELS).

The seminars can take place in the school’s studio, an external rental studio or at broncolor’s headquarters in Switzerland. Alternatively, the seminars can be held online as webinars with or without participant interaction.

The standard seminars can be adjusted or supplemented by additional topics based on the desired learning outcomes. The usual duration is between two and three days and seminars can be offered in English, German and Spanish. An interpreter can be involved for other languages. Please contact your local broncolor partner for availability and pricing.

Educator’s Lighting Seminar (ELS)

The ELS targets instructors and follows a teach-the-teacher approach. Lecturers obtain in-depth knowledge about professional lighting on the equipment side as well as on the application side with examples of how to transfer this knowledge. Furthermore, learning support material to assist in teaching lighting classes is provided (digital format).

Standard modules

  • Light and skin – influencing the appearance of the skin with light
  • The softbox – more complex than you think. Really understanding this supposedly simple light shaper
  • Giving shape to objects – “three-dimensional” light for matte and glossy surfaces
  • Freeze fast moving objects, shutter speed, flash duration and HS

Student’s Lighting Seminar (SLS)

The SLS is typically for a group of learners who wish to advance their knowledge specifically in (flash-) lighting, usually in one particular field such as eCommerce, flash photography or reflectance transfor-mation imaging. Attendees receive a certificate of participation/achievement from broncolor. Final assignments are offered on request.
