Timeless Inspiration: Paintings

Based on the best-selling workshop, this class reveals the secrets of infusing timeless sensibilities from classic paintings into modern-day photography.

By drawing inspiration from master artists of the past, photographers can imbue their work with creativity, depth, and a deeper understanding of visual storytelling. Lindsay Adler and Chris Knight guide you on a journey through history exploring the timeless masterpieces that have shaped their artistic visions and show how you can incorporate these influences into your own creations.

Join Lindsay and Chris on set as they create six unique shoots from start to finish, demonstrating how to interpret and reimagine classic themes through story, lighting, wardrobe, props, backgrounds and more. This class includes an accompanying lighting guide that breaks down every aspect of the production, from lighting to camera settings to studio gear.

This is a complete, behind-the-scenes look into the meticulous production process that goes into each concept and resulting photograph, giving unfettered access at every stage of creation from pre-production to post-processing.
