Take your photography to the next level by mastering studio lighting in this immersive, two-part in-person workshop. Over two sessions, you’ll gain hands-on experience with professional lighting equipment, learn to shape light with modifiers, and understand how to create mood, depth, and dimension in your images.

This class is designed for photographers who want to move beyond basic lighting setups and explore creative control.

‍Online Lecture

The space with the greatest creative space available for a photography is the studio, a place where you control all the light that appears in your image. But when we finally step into the studio we don’t have any firm direction of exactly how to proceed. The Studio Masterclass aims to solve this problem. We will teach the essential lighting positions from single light, to fill, to high key, to lowkey, to clamshell. These will be your starting positions anytime you step into the studio.

‍

Hands-on Studio Shoot

Using the techniques we learned in class, we will shoot using a full studio space and a live model. We will start with single light set ups and gradually add lights to the mix, building a variety of effects along the way. By the end you will be comfortable with studio lighting and positioning lights to create exactly the effect you want.

‍"Thank you! I bought a Godox V1 at Mike's when I bought my Canon 5d Mark IV body a few months ago. When I got home I was overwhelmed by it & how to use it. Joe explained it very well. I feel confident taking out AND using my flash now. I highly recommend this class & look forward to taking others through Mike's Camera."
