  • Fill out a contact form on my website. If you're ready to stop guessing with your studio lighting, I strongly recommend this course. You can learn a lot from YouTube and free videos other photographers offer, but it's time-consuming, and there's no better teacher than hands-on experience. Please visit my website and read some of the testimonials from my former students.

    If you'd like to chat on zoom to get a better idea of me, or of what you can expect from the course, I'm more than happy to set that up as well.

  • The course is 2 sessions. On Day 1 we breakdown Stops of Light, the technical aspects of Tethered Shooting, Light Placement, Metering, Composition, and the Field Guide Workflow.

    Day 2 is a review of Day 1 followed by a live shoot with a model or an actor. 3 hours/Day. Total cost is $700
