Description
This isn’t a generic photography workshop. This is a full-day, hands-on experience where you’ll leave with a skill set most photographers never develop. That is the ability to recognize, shape, and control light in any situation… without limits. We will take on the streets of Downtown Houston and I am super excited! I know the area well!
By the end of the day, you won’t just “know” lighting theory. You’ll have the confidence to walk into any location, any time of day, and create the exact image you want. You’ll be able to simulate natural light looks with just one light source, blend natural and created light seamlessly, and work in places most photographers would walk right past.
What makes this workshop different?
-
No “paparazzi style” shooting. You get your own dedicated time with the models — no fighting for angles or shots.
-
You’ll see the back of my LCD screen in real time so you know exactly what’s happening before the image is even edited.
-
You’ll work one-on-one with me during your shooting time so we focus on your style, not mine.
-
You’ll capture images you can immediately use for your portfolio, social media, or website.
-
A few weeks later, you’ll get a full recap video. It will include full lighting breakdowns, behind-the-scenes footage, and ALL my complete editing steps so you can revisit every detail anytime.
Why this matters:
Anyone can make a decent natural light image. But photographers who can command any light source, and make it look natural, or what they want it to look like are rare. That’s why I stay in high demand after all these years. And that’s exactly what you’ll walk away with. Trusting yourself and your eye.
What will we cover?
With so many photographers out there, light is what truly sets you apart. Without it, there’s no image. I’ve always been a passionate seeker of light, and it’s constantly evolving. Mastering the ability to see, shape, and control light is essential.
These days, almost anyone can create a decent natural light image, but if you want to stand out, you need to push your craft further. In this workshop, we’ll dive into advanced natural lighting techniques and explore how I blend natural and created light for a unique, subtle effect. You’ll learn how to simulate different natural light looks with just one light, no matter the time of day.
Everyone wants a distinct photographic style. I’ll show you my approach, but this workshop is designed to help you develop your OWN. You’ll learn to recognize and use light in a way that’s unique to you. This skill has been the key to my long-term success in the industry.
