I’m super excited to tell you about my brand new class — Master Location Lighting!

Master Location Lighting is an in-depth class that provides you with the skills and knowledge you need to create professional images in any environment. Whether you’re shooting outside, at someone’s home, a business, or just about anywhere, I’ve got you covered! 

With more than 12 hours of content, I begin with the essential foundations of location lighting and then build through many real-world case studies. You’ll learn how these tools and techniques can be used for headshots, group portraits, personal branding, fashion editorials and more. 

In this episode of Learn Plus we dive into set design with special guests Jada & David Parrish who’ve crafted their careers on building immersive environments. Jada & David bring us a unique set that mimics a stylish subway car interior, showing us how they light and use it for different looks.

Next, I’ll showcase my own personal methods and creative interpretation for set design, which include constructing a pool from scratch, sourcing unconventional materials through dumpster diving, and incorporating elements of glamour and sophistication.

If you’ve ever felt stuck for inspiration or in a creative rut, consider looking to influential art movements to expose yourself to new ideas, artists, colors and techniques. As photographers we can study famous pieces, influential artists, or key visual elements of an art movement to spark our own creativity. I love incorporating elements from artwork into my own photos — whether it be a color scheme, style or just as an homage!

For this episode, I draw from artist styles including Impressionism, Cubism, Nouveau Réalisme, and Color Field Painting.
