Spend a fun, hands-on Saturday at our South Melbourne studio learning how to see and shape light like a pro. Whether you're picking up a camera for the first time or refining your existing skills, you'll leave with new techniques, real portfolio shots, and a deeper understanding of what separates a snapshot from a striking portrait.
What you'll do:
Three hours of theory, live demo, and hands-on shooting — taught in a relaxed, no-jargon style.
Learn how the quality of light (soft, hard, directional, diffused) shapes mood, emotion, and storytelling.
Master the fundamentals of balancing brightness, shadow and depth using power, distance and falloff.
Discover how small changes in angle, modifier and texture completely transform a portrait.
Work directly with a professional model — experiment, get coached, and build real portfolio-grade images you can take home.
Try a range of creative lighting setups, from classic beauty to dramatic editorial.
Enjoy fresh coffee, tea and a friendly studio atmosphere throughout the session.
What you'll leave with:
The confidence to design intentional, professional-looking lighting setups.
Your own portrait images of a working model — shot by you.
