More Brain = Better Light Workshop

Those of you who have been waiting expectantly will be glad to hear that I have decided to start running my lighting workshop which I have entitled “More Brain = Better Light”

So what does the workshop cover and why “More Brain = Better Light”?

The secret to lighting a great photograph isn’t how much your gear costs but rather having the ability and confidence to plan how you want the shot lit and then use what you have at hand to make it happen. Too often I hear someone say “I can’t take a photograph like that because I don’t have the right gear” which is unfortunate because all the gear in the world won’t make you light any better than someone who really understands what they are doing.

So More Brain = Better Light really is a day spent teaching you to think about lighting in a new way where gear is the final part that makes it happen not the part the decides the shoot.

I am not going to promise you that you will become a master photographer in a day, but I am going to give you a good solid base that you can confidently build on which will help you accelerate your journey to becoming the photographer you want to be.

The day will consist of two sessions, a morning session covering the basics of lighting and equipment (including using sppedlights) and an afternoon session covering lighting setups and hands on shooting.
