About this Event
Sun & Snaps: New Light is a photography workshop for creatives, artists, and enthusiasts ready to move beyond technique — into awareness, intention, and a deeper relationship with their own vision. Created by Emmy Etienne, a seasoned creative artist and photographer, this immersive workshop is designed to help individuals learn the fundamentals of photography using natural light, creative angles, and mobile camera techniques. Participants receive hands-on guidance, a photography booklet with tips & tricks, and beautifully captured portraits in lush outdoor settings. Learn how to use a reflector or your surroundings to capture the best image. The surrounding landscape is the backdrop for stunning photos.
This Workshop Is For You If...
- You've been creating for a while but feel like something's missing from your work
- You want to stop second-guessing your eye and start trusting your vision
- You're ready to go deeper into your creative practice — not just learn settings
- You shoot on your phone, your DSLR, or both — and want every frame to mean something
- You consider yourself an artist, even if you haven't always said it out loud
What You'll Tap Into
Seeing Beyond the Lens The technical foundations are here — natural light, composition, angles, reflectors, your environment as a tool. But New Light goes further. Learn how awareness, presence, and creative intention transform ordinary shots into images with a point of view.
Product Photography for the Brand-Minded Creative If your work supports a brand or business, learn how to photograph what you sell with the same artistry you bring to everything else. Styling, natural backgrounds, visual storytelling — skills that make your content work harder.
Directing and Posing a Subject Three model spots are available. Photographers will practice the art of direction — reading a person, guiding their energy, and capturing something true. One of the most underrated skills in a creative's arsenal.

It took me a long time to call myself an artist — even though I had been creating art my entire career. The moment I finally took up that mantle and stepped fully into who I am, my work changed. My eye changed. I began to see beyond the frame.
New Light is me sharing what 18 years as a videographer and photographer have taught me — not just the skills, but the essence of seeing beyond the lens. This workshop is for the creative who is ready for that shift.
