INTRO TO LIGHTING

Lighting is the foundation of every great photograph. In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn how to see, shape, and control light to bring your images to life. We’ll cover the essential principles of natural and artificial light, how to use shadows creatively, and the basics of exposure that every photographer needs to know.

Through hands-on demonstrations and guided practice, you’ll explore:

  • How light direction, quality, and color affect your photos

  • The differences between hard vs. soft light

  • How to work with natural light, reflectors, and simple setups

  • Beginner tips for indoor shooting with studio lighting.

By the end of this session, you’ll walk away with the confidence to use lighting intentionally—turning ordinary snapshots into photographs that stand out.

Perfect for anyone new to photography or those looking to strengthen their fundamentals.
