"Start to Studio — a fantastic experience, expertly guided by Wesley (what energy!) together with two wonderful models. I'll definitely be back for a shoot. Beautiful location with top-quality equipment and great décor options. Absolutely loved it!!"

// What will you learn?

From theory to practice in one afternoon

This workshop is built around three topics that take you step by step from light theory to a complete portrait setup. You work with professional equipment and practise with a model — the ideal introduction to studio photography.

// Programme

Three topics, four hours

Topic 1

Why one light is not like another

You discover the difference between hard and soft light, how light fall-off works, how reflections affect your image and why colour temperature matters more than you think.

Topic 2

Equipment & light modifiers

We go through the most commonly used studio equipment and light modifiers: softbox, beauty dish, snoot, umbrella, reflector. You learn what each tool does to your light and when to use what.

Topic 3

Portrait lighting with 1, 2 and 3 lights

Step by step you go from a single light source to a complete setup. You practise the classic lighting recipes: Rembrandt, butterfly, split, loop, broad and short lighting.

Limited to 6 participants. This allows room for personal guidance and enough time to get hands-on yourself — an intensive intro to studio photography.
