Conquer the 10 most common lighting challenges with Westcott—such as harsh shadows and color balance—with a straightforward one-light setup.
About this Event

Join Julie from Westcott for a hands-on workshop designed for beginners and hobbyists eager to simplify their lighting techniques. Learn to overcome the 10 most common challenges photographers face—including blown highlights, harsh shadows, underexposure, and color balance—using a straightforward one-light setup with Westcott gear.

This class offers an immersive, hands-on experience featuring dedicated shooting bays with live models, complemented by expert, personalized instruction. This dynamic environment allows you to instantly put your newfound knowledge into practice, helping you develop the confidence and skill to consistently produce stunning, professional-quality images.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to shape and control light with one off-camera flash
  • Practical fixes for real-world problems like dappled light, blown highlights, and hard shadows
  • Simple posing and lighting workflows for clean, flattering portraits

The workshop begins at 11:00 AM and will extend into the early afternoon. Timing may vary based on participation and discussion.

Come ready to shoot, learn, and walk away with both new images and lighting skills you can use right away.

PLUS! Stay for our Westcott Demo Day and try out top Westcott gear, including the NEW Westcott FJ400-SE Studio Strobe, along with other Westcott products.
