WORKSHOPS

Intro to

LIGHTING

Aiming to demystify the art of studio lighting, this workshop will be the starling line for photographers new to off camera flash. We cover the basics of studio lighting and give direction on how to set light triggers and dial in light settings. Shooting bays will be available to photograph models while practicing with lighting.

The Lighting

SERIES

This monthly workshop is available to photographers who want to level up their studio lighting proficiency. We’ll break down lighting in an inspiration photo and create the setup in studio. Photographers will then be able to use the majority of the time to shoot models in shooting bays, practicing new lighting techniques and networking with fellow creatives.

Visionary behind the brand

I was your typical left-brained, planner and strategist type, but photography enabled me to find a creativity I didn’t know I had! What started as a simple google search of “how do I get a blurry background in pictures”, has developed into a love for learning lighting, posing, and creation. But more than that, photography has helped me connect with many lovely people who have expanded my circle in beautiful ways.

I want to create an environment for photographers, newbie and seasoned, to flourish in their experience, to make meaningful connections with like-minded people, and to create without limitation. This is the love behind Studio 40E. I hope you’ll join the family.
