*Limited to 8 Spots*
Join Mike Jeffrey and Sam Cousins for a first of it’s kind in-person creative lighting workshop.
This workshop is designed for Photographers who have a good grasp of their camera and are ready to move beyond natural light. If you’ve ever felt limited by the sun or struggled to balance artificial light with your environment, this class will give you the confidence and control to create any look you imagine.
Just so we’re clear, this isn’t a styled shoot where you stand around taking the same photos as everyone else. We’ll have one model for the workshop, and every attendee will get the chance to work directly with them, putting the techniques you learn into practice.
What You’ll Learn:
How to use Continuous LED lighting and Off-Camera Lighting
Blending Natural Light with Artificial Light
How to adjust camera settings depending on the lighting style and environment
Step-by-step lighting setups that you can replicate on your own shoots
Hands-on practice: You’ll have the chance to shoot with guidance, so you learn by doing
*Please Note this Workshop is limited to 8 spots to allow everyone time to practice!
