Whether you’re brand new to studio lighting or just ready to move beyond your camera’s built-in flash, this workshop will give you the confidence to explore different types of photographic lighting.In this hands-on session, we’ll walk step-by-step through the fundamentals of continuous lights, colored lights, and strobes — plus the essential grip and diffusion tools that shape and soften light. You’ll learn:
Camera Settings – Quick review of the basics for shooting with different light sources
Continuous Lighting – How to see, shape, and balance light in real time
Colored Lighting – Adding creative effects with gels and RGB fixtures
Strobes & Flash – Understanding how they work, and when to use them
Diffusion & Grip – Tools for controlling light quality and direction
You’ll get time to photograph in a continuous lighting setup with a live model, giving you the chance to immediately practice and experiment with what you’ve learned. (Due to time, strobes will be demonstrated but not hands-on for every participant.)
Cost: $40 before class begins
What to Bring:
Digital Camera (DSLR or mirrorless)
A charged battery and memory card
Camera strap
Curiosity and creativity
By the end of this workshop, you’ll have a solid introduction to lighting equipment and techniques — and the confidence to start shaping your own images with intention.
Class begins promptly at 10:00 AM. We recommend arriving by 9:30 AM to check in, get settled, and ensure you’re ready to start on time.
