Mastering One-Light Photography
A Guide for Creating Stunning Images with a Single Strobe
Join us for an engaging and informative session on Mastering One-Light Photography! In this class, we’ll explore the power and versatility of using a single strobe to create stunning images. You’ll learn how to simplify your lighting setup, gain control over light direction, and achieve professional-quality results with minimal gear. We’ll cover three essential techniques: Rembrandt lighting for dramatic portraits, butterfly lighting for beautiful and even illumination, and backlighting to add depth and separation.
Through live demonstrations and hands-on examples, you’ll see how to achieve these effects and leave with practical tips to enhance your photography skills. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced photographer, this session will provide valuable insights and inspiration.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to elevate your craft with simple yet powerful lighting techniques!
