Light Anything: Master Product Lighting for Any Surface Material

Length: 3–6 Hours

Learn the principles that make it possible to confidently light virtually any product or surface. This class explores reflection, refraction, diffusion, transmission, the family of angles, the inverse square law, and other practical concepts to help photographers control highlights, texture, shape, and transparency across materials like glass, metal, fabric, ceramics, liquids, and more. Rather than memorizing setups, attendees learn how to analyze a product, understand how it interacts with light, and build intentional lighting that supports the image and the brand.

Light in Motion: The Art of Blending Light, Time, and Emotion

Length: 1–4 Hours

Explore the creative possibilities of combining flash, constant light, color, movement, and longer exposures. Attendees learn how to balance multiple light sources, intentionally freeze or blur motion, work with RGB and gelled lighting, and experiment with techniques such as shutter drag, light painting, and stroboscopic sequencing. The focus is on using light and time as creative tools to make energetic images with greater mood, movement, and storytelling.

The 3-Step Formula for Great Product Photography

Length: 1–2 Hours

Learn a simple three-step framework for approaching virtually any product photograph: observe the product to find its strongest angle, build a composition that supports the story, and design lighting around the goals of the image. Attendees learn how these decisions work together so they can move beyond copying setups and start developing their own repeatable process for creating thoughtful, effective product photography.

The Portrait Lighting System: The 5 Lighting Patterns That Unlock Infinite Looks

Length: 1–3 Hours

Learn five foundational lighting positions that can be combined, modified, and adapted to create an almost unlimited variety of portrait lighting setups. Attendees explore practical one, two, three, and four-light combinations while learning the principles behind placement, modifiers, light quality, and the inverse square law. Instead of memorizing diagrams, photographers leave understanding how to build and troubleshoot their own lighting setups with confidence.

Get Creative with Miniature and Toy Photography

Length: 1–2 Hours

Take a playful approach to lighting, composition, and visual storytelling through miniature and toy photography. Attendees learn how to make small subjects feel larger than life using perspective, practical effects, simple set building, creative lighting, atmosphere, and camera techniques. It is a fun, approachable class that encourages experimentation while reinforcing skills that translate directly into portrait, product, and commercial photography.

Location Lighting Masterclass: Principles of Off-Camera Flash

Length: 2–4 Hours

Learn how to confidently use off-camera flash in real-world locations without relying on memorized setups. This class covers balancing flash with ambient light, choosing light direction and placement, controlling exposure, selecting modifiers, working quickly, and adapting when conditions change. Attendees leave with a practical understanding of how to analyze an environment and create intentional lighting anywhere.

Intro to Studio Photography: Learn the Equipment and Techniques Professionals Use

Length: 4–6 Hours

Build the knowledge and confidence needed to work comfortably in a photography studio. Attendees learn the fundamentals of strobes, light stands, modifiers, metering, tethering, light placement, studio safety, and an efficient shooting workflow while creating images along the way. Designed as an approachable introduction, this class takes the mystery out of studio equipment and gives photographers a strong foundation for creating and experimenting on their own.

How Cameras Actually Work: Stop Memorizing Settings, Start Understanding the Physics of Creating Your Scene

Length: 1–3 Hours

Understand what your camera and lens are actually doing so you can spend less time thinking about settings and more time creating. This class goes beyond the basic exposure triangle to explore aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length, depth of field, white balance, metering, autofocus, and automatic exposure modes through practical examples. Attendees leave understanding not just which settings to use, but why they work and how to confidently adapt them to almost any shooting situation.
