Info: Many photographers jump into learning without clarity, feeling scattered or unsure of where they’re headed. We’ll set the tone for the day, map out the learning path, and uncover the biggest roadblocks photographers face. You’ll leave this first block already feeling grounded, prepared, and excited for what’s ahead.

Info: Struggling with exposure, composition, and camera settings often leaves photographers second-guessing every shot. We’ll break down the fundamentals in a practical, easy-to-grasp way. You’ll gain the clarity and confidence to stop “winging it” and start shooting with precision and control.

Info: Photographers get overwhelmed by too many gear choices and don’t know what truly matters. We’ll simplify it. You’ll learn how to pick the right modifier for the look you want, why tethering elevates your professionalism, and how to streamline your setup so you spend less time fiddling and more time creating.

Info: Clean, polished lighting feels impossible to master, leading to flat or unflattering images.
You’ll learn a proven commercial/beauty lighting setup step by step, then practice it yourself. You’ll walk away with magazine-quality images — and the know-how to recreate them confidently.

Info: Lunch will be provided! Recharge and connect with fellow creatives. This is a great time to share insights, ask questions, and build relationships that can inspire you long after the workshop ends.

Info: Step into a bold, editorial look! We’ll dive into dramatic lighting that creates high-impact fashion images. Learn how to bring a sense of mood, story, and artistry into your photography while still keeping your workflow practical.

Info: Real-world shoots rarely happen in perfect studio conditions — and blending natural with artificial light is a common struggle. You’ll learn how to balance both seamlessly for consistent, professional results anywhere. This skill alone will elevate every session you shoot, from portraits to editorials.

Info: Editing can feel like a time-suck, with inconsistent results and endless trial-and-error. You’ll discover a clean, efficient workflow that enhances your images without overcomplicating the process. This approach saves you hours and delivers results your clients will love.

Info: End the day with the piece most photographers are missing: how to turn passion into profit. In this session (with an engaging PowerPoint guide), you’ll learn how to:
✔️ Sell your work with confidence
✔️ Build a brand that stands out
✔️ Create a client experience that keeps people coming back

Walk away feeling empowered, with tools to not only shoot better but also run your business like a pro.
