Course Outline:

I know the first thing you think about when you see studio lighting Is YIKES! There is a certain mystery around flash and studio lighting in general.

Well get ready to kick the doors off the house, we are gonna change all that.

With over 25 years of experience in the fashion and beauty industry and now in the fine art portraiture and luxury wedding market, I know what it takes to light just about anything.

Guess what? It really isn't that difficult.

I will walk you through all types of lighting, including flash, both on camera and studio strobe, fluorescent, hot lights, and even ring light.

You know what the best part is, it's a video course!!!! That's right I said video. I know that if you are like me, you are a visual person. What better way to teach you than visually! Nothing to read ( unless you want to read my cliff notes) just me teaching you, one on one my easy techniques of lighting.

You will learn how I built my whole career on using one light. How to use that one light and simple things like a 4x8 sheet of foamcore to make it seem like you have a room full of lights.

I will make this so simple, that even my business partner Fundy can learn it! Sorry Fundy :) He actually is a really great photographer!

If you want high energy in your classes, then you need to take this one. I am somewhat hyper (that's what everyone tells me) and it works well with a video class. I will get you so excited to shoot, that you will want to run out as soon as the class is done and get your assignment done! Seriously, this is gonna be a great time.

So let's take the yikes out of studio and flash lighting and let me show you just how easy it is!



Course Requirement:
A thorough knowledge of aperture, shutter speed and exposure. You will need two flashes and a way to fire one and/or both from the camera. It is wonderful if you have weddings to photograph but not necessary - all assignments can be completed using family and friends!
