Step into a professional Shoreditch studio and discover how to use light as your most powerful creative tool. In this full-day studio lighting course, you’ll learn how to control flash and natural light to capture expressive, character-filled portraits. Good lighting is what separates a flat snapshot from a photograph that feels alive. The right setup doesn’t just brighten a face. It shapes emotion, adds depth, and tells a story. Once you see the difference, you’ll never look at portraits the same way again. Through hands-on practice with studio flash, reflectors, umbrellas, and softboxes, you’ll explore how lighting changes mood and dimension. Learn how to balance flash with constant light, read your light meter, and guide your sitter toward natural, authentic expressions. Under expert guidance, you’ll build both technical confidence and creative intuition, understanding not just how to set the light, but how to feel it. You’ll leave with portraits you’re proud of and a sharper sense for shaping direction, contrast, and atmosphere. Many participants return each season to explore new setups, lighting moods, and faces in front of the camera. Every session offers new inspiration, shared learning, and a fresh way to see.
