Roberto Valenzuela

Great images aren't just found, they're made from whatever's in front of you. On this photo walk, Roberto Valenzuela will show you how to turn the everyday stuff of any location, walls, benches, doorways, debris, whatever's lying around, into tools that elevate your shot. Attendees will work through real-time posing on location, adapting to light as it changes block to block, and training their eye to spot opportunity where other photographers just see clutter. Come ready to walk, shoot, and start seeing every street differently.

Every professional can take a technically correct photo, but posing without the look of posing is what turns a subject into a story and a client into a raving fan. In this class, Roberto Valenzuela breaks down the posing principles top photographers use to create images that feel alive, not staged: reading body language, directing with confidence, and adapting on the fly to any subject or setting. If you've ever wondered why some photographers' work just pops and others looks staged, this is the missing piece.

The next evolution of the WPPI Lighting Summit. More hands-on. More access. More ways to master light. Learn directly from Michael Anthony, Dixie Dixon, and Roberto Valenzuela in a full-day experience split between stage demonstrations and hands-on practice.

Discover how to build one lighting setup and create all the assets you need, from stills and motion to social content, without starting over every time you switch formats. See how to move between photography and video while maintaining a consistent look, quality, and creative vision, then put those techniques into practice with guidance from the instructors. Bring your camera and come ready to shoot.

Three masters. One setup. All the assets. Stills + motion.
