What will you learn from this course?
Seeing Like a Photographer
Learn to observe and interpret light — not just as a source, but as a storytelling tool. Train your eye to spot nuances in shadow, highlight, and tone.
Light Sources & Modifiers
Explore different types of lighting (strobe, continuous, speed lights) and get hands-on experience with modifiers like softboxes, umbrellas, reflectors, grids, and gels. Understand how each one shapes the quality and direction of light.
Portrait Lighting Styles
Master classic portrait lighting patterns (like the loop, Rembrandt, butterfly, split) to craft flattering imagery. Learn how to use light to sculpt features, control contrast, and create mood.
Natural + Artificial Light Blending
Develop the creative ability to balance studio flash with available light. Learn how to combine sun and strobe to elevate outdoor shoots.
Model & Portfolio Sessions
Practice with live model to build your portfolio. Learn how to direct your subject, pose them, and bring out authentic expressions in a studio environment for fashion and advertising.
Technical & Creative Control
Learn to make deliberate lighting decisions — how to plan, set up, and modify lighting for different concepts — plus how to troubleshoot to achieve your desired look.
