About this Event

We are thrilled to be returning to London for another 2-Day photography workshop! The focus of the 2026 workshop at Belt Craft Studios will be mobile lighting solutions, both indoors and outdoors, so attendees can work with talent in a variety of scenarios - with natural light and flash. The intent of the workshop is to accelerate skills and practice creating successful environmental portraiture. We've added a pizza dinner and picture review this year so we can spend time together after Day 1 to discuss and strategize for Day 2. We have a limited number of spots available for this hands-on workshop. Last year the workshop sold out quickly, so if you are interested in registering, sign up for a spot today!
