Why Learn from Me?

Hi, I'm Jeahn!

You can learn lighting from a thousand YouTube videos so why me?
Because I’ve been in the trenches, figuring out what really works.

I’ve built a deep, practical knowledge shooting everything from CEOs to beauty campaigns, mastering how to make any light setup work, whether in small home studios or fast-paced commercial shoots.

Along the way:

  • I’ve taught tens of thousands of photographers on social media, through workshops, online courses, and 1-on-1 coaching.

  • I’ve taught for Professional Photographers of America, one of the most well-respected organizations in the industry.

  • I work with brands like Westcott, Tether Tools, Studio Titan America, Elixxier Software, and Narrative.so, who trust me to teach their audiences how to get pro results.

  • My images have been published, used in commercial campaigns, and featured in major venues including Professional Photographer Magazine.

But more importantly, I break lighting down so you get it fast. No jargon overload, no “just feel it” nonsense. Only simple building blocks that work.

If lighting has ever felt confusing, I promise after this, it won’t be.

But don't just take my word for it, hear it from my students!
