CAAD  >  CAAD Labs  >  Media Production  >  Photography Lighting Studio

The Photography Lighting Studio is equipped with studio flash lighting that is suitable for advanced documentation of design work, as well as for a creative engagement with studio lighting as a genre. The studio is designed as a neutral space that can be used by a range of individuals and used as a class base for some photography courses. It’s monitored by a Media Labs Specialist who oversees equipment, use of the studio and bookings. The studio is located in the basement of AD2 building and is approximately 70sqm in size.

There are three wall-mounted paper background systems (one of which is motorized) that are typically used for portraiture and large still life environments, as well as a light table for smaller still life applications. The lighting rig holds a range of powerful photographic flashlights that can be synchronized individually or collectively with cameras. There are a range of flash heads, colored gels and reflectors/diffusers to control the quality of light. There are small and medium sized light tents typically used for photographing reflective objects (glass/metal) that can be booked for specialist work.

The lighting studio is perfect for a range of student projects and project documentation. The studio blends form and function, providing a professional and private photography studio for all CAAD students. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced student in architecture, interior design, visual communication, multimedia of design management, the lighting studio facilities make it possible to document your work in a streamlined fashion and to take on new creative studio photography projects.

The studio is equipped with 3 Elinchrom D-lite flash units with different lightbox sizes, 3 Multiblitz Profilux flash units all connected with a rail system, 8 continuous light heads with cool and warm light bulbs, base grip equipment including c-stands, grip arms, umbrellas, and gray, white, black and brown seamless (2.7 meters wide).
