About this Event

Learn. Light. Create.

Profoto’s Geared Up on the Road brings lighting education to life through two immersive, hands-on workshops led by Chris Fain commercial photographer and host of Geared Up Live. Whether you’re new to lighting or looking to refine your technique, these sessions are designed to make lighting approachable, creative, and fun.



What to Expect:
  • Live demos and guided shooting sessions
  • Step-by-step breakdowns of lighting setups
  • Tips for shaping light on-location and in-studio
  • Time to experiment, ask questions, and connect with other creators




Sessions

Intermediate: On-Location Lighting Workshop - $45
10:30am – 12:30pm

Take your lighting outside and learn how to shape natural and artificial light together.
You’ll learn:

  • How to balance flash with ambient light for natural-looking results
  • The best modifiers for outdoor portraits and lifestyle setups
  • How to control direction, softness, and contrast in challenging environments
  • Fast setups that deliver professional results on tight timelines

Perfect for photographers who are comfortable with 1–2 lights and want to master Profoto’s portable systems like the A2, B20, and B30.


Advanced: In-Studio Lighting Workshop - $75
3:00 - 5:00pm

Step into the studio and learn to build refined, controlled lighting setups from scratch.
You’ll learn:

  • How to use multiple lights (3–4+) for depth, drama, and precision
  • Understanding ratios, metering, and consistency across sets
  • How to use modifiers like the Pro-D3, Pro-B3, Softboxes, and Beauty Dishes to create specific moods
