Light Exposed SHOOTOUT DC 2026
Create Magic in DC!
We’re on the East Coast in Richmond for a workshop, but we have to be in NY in a few days, so why go back to Chicago when we can stop off and help to educate photograhers before we get there.
So guess what, we’re gonna stop in DC and do a 4 hour shootout
What you’ll learn
Make faster decisions in harder light.
Light
Control natural light and off-camera flash
Learn to recognize and work with natural light, then balance it with off-camera flash to create images that appear completely natural, intentionally dramatic, or anywhere in between.
Control
Control what the camera sees
Use light, exposure, camera position, and subject placement to shape the final image instead of allowing difficult conditions to dictate it.
Vision
Find hidden pockets of light
Learn to recognize small pockets of directional, reflected, and ambient light that may appear insignificant at first but can become the foundation of a strong image. These are the scenes that give images the “3D look”.
Technique
Use technique with intention
Learn how aperture, camera position, subject placement, and focus work together so you can make deliberate choices for singles, groups, and movement.
Location
Make any location work
Learn to look beyond whether a location appears impressive to the naked eye and recognize the color, structure, angles, texture, and depth that can support a strong image. Use framing and camera position to transform ordinary spaces into photographs others would never envision from the location itself.
Finish
Revisit the entire process
Stay fully present during the workshop without worrying about taking notes. Your lifetime-access recap includes behind-the-scenes footage from every setup, a detailed breakdown of the lighting, conditions, and decisions made throughout the day, and Audrey’s complete RAW-to-final editing process.
Photography education for photographers who want to see more, decide faster, and make work that feels unmistakably theirs.
