Lighting Essentials for Photographers
A 2-Hour Introductory Lighting Course
About this Event

📸 There comes a moment in every photographer’s journey when you realize: better images aren’t waiting on a new camera—they’re waiting on better light. ✨

If you're ready to stop guessing and start shooting with purpose, join us for Lighting Essentials for Photographers, a 2-hour introductory course designed to help you see, understand, and control light with confidence.

Hosted by LIRISI Photography in collaboration with Women Behind the Lens (founded by Felicia Renne Tolbert of Starpointe Photography), this special session is created specifically for women photographers who want to strengthen their foundation and elevate their craft.

Here is what we’ll cover (and don't worry, this isn't an overly technical, gear-heavy lecture!): ✨ How to see light—not just use it ✨ The basics of working with strobes and flashes ✨ Understanding direction, quality, and intensity ✨ How to shape and control light for intentional images ✨ Common lighting mistakes and how to avoid them

You will walk away with a stronger eye for light, a clearer sense of control, and a much more confident approach to your photography.
