Finding
Rembrandt

New Video Series

Journey into the mind of Rembrandt with your presenter — Chris Knight. Learn the history behind the artist that shaped our very perception of light, the period that influenced him, how his historical influence is felt today, and how to apply his styles to your own images.

Something different

In this video tutorial series, Chris will show you how to create depth in your images, master highlights and shadow through incredibly simple lighting setups, and refine your images through stylized developing and retouching. After this class, you’ll be able to use the artistic techniques of some of the greatest portraitists and to be able to “paint” with light.

Testimonials

I had promised myself a Rembrandt style shoot for quite some time but wasn’t quite sure how to accomplish what I was envisioning. I came across “Finding Rembrandt” just at the right time. Having taken and benefited from several of Chris Knight’s other courses I was confident that it would be worth my while. Chris delivered once again with exactly the advice I needed to create the effect I was looking for through both lighting and post-production. Not only did I nail the shoot, I learned a great deal about Rembrandt’s place in history and why he continues to inspire us centuries later. A definite win.

I think the world of you. Every tutorial and in person class I had with you has been truly incredible. Not often do you find someone with the caliber of your talent the is also a good instructor. You however are amazing and meant to teach, you have a great ability to do so in a very engaging manner, and I am so glad you continue doing so, I look forward to all of your future classes and/or tutorials.

Dear Chris, first of all, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your experience, it’s so inspiring and when you are passionate about art, your classes become addictive, as to their effectiveness ... Our work will soon be the best example!

The Finding Rembrandt tutorial brought me full circle back to my roots. Thoughtful and clear, it reminds us certain styles and techniques will always be with us because they say so much.

About Chris Knight

Chris Knight was born in Wiesbaden, Germany and hardened by the sweaty, nearly chewable, humidity of Florida. He combines his unconditional love of art history with his conditional love of technology, topping it off with a flare for the cinematic and an uncompromising eye for detail.

His work has appeared in or on Vogue, People, MSNBC, ABC, Ocean Drive, GQ and others.

Chris is the author of The Dramatic Portrait and an instructor at Pratt Institute as well as the New York Film Academy.
