...your creative, artistic eye and intuition rather than purely focusing on the technicalities.

Lighting, like photography in general is inherently mathematical and formulaic by technique. Knowing this has in many ways impeded my growth in the past.

The Illuminate Series motto is lighting and

To be put on the mailing sign up list and be the first to know when the course will be released, sign up below.

The Illuminate Series will be an in-person class teaching film and digital photographers alike how I’ve gained confidence and learned to walk into any situation and confidently light it without being bogged down with technicalities. I know that if I learn, think, and work in a very “right brain” or visual way there have to be more people like me who also struggle with the endless technicalities of lighting.

(If you are unable to attend the in-person course, a follow up online course of all the recorded material will become available as well.)

you will certainly learn tools along the way with the Illuminate Lighting Templates. (And have a little bit of a "cheat code” to hard spots on wedding days!)

Essentially these “templates” are common situations wedding photographers might find themselves in without a grasp of how to light them. Think of them as real life “drag and drops”. I have sketched out the setup, locations, settings, and gear used within each Lighting Template in addition to why I chose to do what I did (why did I choose Portra 800 here? Why did I place that light 20 feet away at that angle?).

While the best way to learn about lighting in the way I approach it would be to attend the Illuminate Series, take the online course, or even sign up for a 1-1 mentorship

Until the Illuminate Series release, I have The Illuminate Series Lighting Templates.
