Color tells the story, light sets the stage—and consistency ties it all together. In this session, Meg Loeks will show you how to use off-camera flash to create refined, reliable results across any environment. You’ll learn how to shape light with one to three strobes, select the right modifiers, and control color temperature for accurate, flattering tones. Meg will also demonstrate how to use gels to shift mood and add depth, bringing greater narrative impact to your work. Whether you’re photographing in a client’s home or a styled space, you’ll leave with practical tools to craft cinematic imagery that feels both consistent and impactful.

Natural light is beautiful, until it doesn’t cooperate. When the sun hides, the weather turns, or the space falls flat, you need more than luck to keep shooting at a high level. In this session Chloe Ramirez shows how to stay in control by blending strobes, continuous sources, and quick modifiers to create light that feels intentional and alive.

Learn how to read the scene, design light on the fly, and keep the story and your client’s confidence intact. Whether you are indoors, racing a vanishing sunset, or working in a tricky timeline, you will leave ready to turn a tough lighting day into a signature look.

Light is more than illumination—it’s communication. Photographer Seth Miranda explores how every shift in light and shadow influences the way we perceive an image. You’ll discover how to control tone, contrast, and gradation to emphasize emotion, shape dimension, and guide the viewer’s eye. Through a live demonstration, Seth breaks down how subtle lighting decisions can transform the mood and meaning of a portrait. Walk away with a clearer understanding of how to use light as your most powerful storytelling tool, and the confidence to make it speak for you.
