2-Day Studio Lighting, Posing & Editorial Workshop
Two educators. Two different approaches. Multiple lighting techniques. Different models. One intensive experience designed to completely change the way you work in the studio.

You don't come to learn one style. You come to understand how different photographers make different decisions.

This workshop is for photographers who already know the basics but feel they are not using the full potential of their studio, their equipment or their creativity. You may be a portrait, maternity, fashion, beauty, boudoir or personal branding photographer.
It is especially for you if:
Strobes + continuous light, modifiers, contrast, shadows, color, multiple sources and more.

Women, men, maternity and couples. How to pose, connect and move from one pose to another.
