PRESENTATIONS AND WORKSHOPS
11:30AM-12:30PM
Small Lights, Bright Ideas!
Exploring Creative Photography with sCompact Flash
Great photography doesn't require a studio full of equipment. Sometimes, all it takes is a small flash or 2 or 3. A little imagination, and a willingness to experiment.
Join Brent Eysler and Godox for a creative exploration of just how much is possible with compact flashes and portable lighting. From everyday photography to more ambitious and creative projects, discover how small flashes can make a big impact.
Whether you're new to flash photography or an experienced photographer looking for fresh inspiration, Small Lights, Big Ideas is all about thinking creatively, experimenting with light, and discovering new ways to bring your photographic vision to life.
2:30PM-3:30PM
One Light Workshop: Let’s Get Lit!
Join Houston-based commercial and portrait photographer Fred “FUJIFRED” Agho—a Fujifilm Creator who’s worked with brands like Nike, Samsung, NBC, and OWN Network—for an immersive one-light photography workshop designed to simplify lighting and unlock your creative control.
You’ll learn how light direction, distance, size, and modifiers dramatically impact your images, plus how to master the sun as your most powerful (and free) light source. Through live demos and hands-on instruction, Fred breaks down professional lighting techniques in a fun, practical way that photographers of all levels can apply immediately.
Expect to leave with a lighting cheat sheet, a deeper understanding of how to sculpt light, and the confidence to create stunning portraits anywhere—with just one light.
3:30PM-4:30PM
Lighting With Flare and Color - Integrating Gels and Flare Into Your Lighting Workflow
Aaron Anderson will take your lighting beyond the ordinary by teaching you how to use color and flare with intention. In this class, we’ll explore how to integrate gels, create controlled lens flare, and mix light to add depth, atmosphere, and emotion to your images. Learn practical techniques you can bring to any set to create more dynamic, visually compelling photographs without relying on post-production to do the heavy lifting.
