Lighting changes everything, especially when photographing people. George Simian will be leading live 2-hour demos showing how to build your lighting skills step by step—starting with simple window light and working up to expressive portraits and dance photography using speedlights, strobes, LEDs, and color gels. No prior lighting experience is needed.
You’re welcome to join us for the full series, or drop in for whichever topics interest you most. Check the schedule and reserve your spot here.
On Camera Speedlight – Without the Harsh Look
See how a basic on‑camera flash can produce natural, flattering light by bouncing it off walls and ceilings instead of blasting it straight at your subject. You’ll connect what you’ve learned about direction and softness to the flash you probably already own.
