A Beginner-Friendly Introduction to Dramatic LED Portraiture
Join Mary Bel for an intimate, hands-on lighting workshop designed for photographers who want to better understand how to create depth, mood, and impact using constant LED light.

During this workshop, Mary will build a painterly portrait lighting setup from scratch while walking you through her creative decision-making process in real time. You’ll learn not only where to place light, but why small changes in direction, distance, and shaping can completely transform an image.

Hands-On Shooting Experience
After the live demonstration, attendees will have guided shooting time with a professional model on set, giving you the opportunity to create fresh portfolio images while applying what you learned.
