Is this course right for me?
If you're someone who's apprehensive about using flash, frequently finds themselves salvaging photos in post-production, or leans heavily on the forgiving qualities of natural light, you'll find this course invaluable. Maybe you're new to portrait photography and eager to lay down a solid foundation in lighting, or perhaps you're a dedicated natural light photographer wanting the flexibility to shoot at any time of the day. Whatever your level or preference, this course aims to demystify lighting and give you the creative control you crave in your photography.


If you don't see yourself as technically savvy, you're more than welcome here. While we may touch upon numbers occasionally throughout this course, our primary tool for evaluating our art will be our own eyes. I've frequently observed that those with limited technical know-how often create some of the most inventive and beautiful work. Whether you're reliant on TTL, finding it tough to pre-visualise lighting, bewildered by flash, or simply dissatisfied with your portrait lighting—this course is tailor-made for you.

What will I learn?
Upon completing this course, you'll emerge with renewed confidence, able to take control of the light around you or better informed and able to choose the perfect lights and modifiers for your portraits.

You will learn far more than the fundamentals of portrait lighting, I'll explain how to communicate with the people you are photographing, how to develop a shoot rhythm and much more.

As well as full email support you will be able to pose questions for my complimentary Zoom sessions for an in-depth answer to any problems or challenges that you face.

I'll show you a diverse palette of portrait styles, ranging from the timeless elegance of old Hollywood to the contemporary flair of cutting-edge editorial fashion. I'll explain the strategies behind each look and what problems to avoid.


Do I need lights?
The short answer is yes. The long answer is...

I understand that choosing the right lighting equipment can be a daunting task. With questions such as: Do I need a flash or continuous light for my work?, What power of light do I need?, and Which modifiers should I choose?

This course is designed to empower you to make informed choices. You may already possess some—or even all—of the lighting gear you need. Together, we'll ensure you only invest in equipment that genuinely complements your work, sparing you from unnecessary purchases.

Being able to create your own light opens up a world of possibilities that didn't exist using just the available light. When you use your lighting kit well, your pictures will look all the more fabulous for it.

Equipped with the right tools and freshly honed skills, you'll gain the confidence to capture far more creative portraits.
