The Lighting Series

Theme: Water 2.0

Join us for an immersive photography experience where water, light, and motion come together to create striking imagery. Hosted at a private pool location, this hands-on workshop will explore techniques for photographing subjects in and around water using off-camera flash and creative lighting setups.

Participants will learn how to balance ambient light with strobes, create dramatic reflections, freeze motion, and shape light to produce dynamic, editorial-style portraits. Whether you're looking to expand your lighting skills or add a unique look to your portfolio, this workshop offers the opportunity to create compelling images in a setting rarely available to photographers.

Perfect for photographers with a basic understanding of camera settings who want to gain confidence working with artificial light on location.

  • The lighting workshops focus on studio lighting. All workshop attendees should know how to operate their camera, and understand the basics of photography - aperture, shutter speed and ISO - these will not be covered during the class.


  • If you have a light trigger, bring that with you. If you don’t have one, we do have a few that participants can share. The studio is equipped with everything you’ll need for the workshop experience, except for you and your camera!

  • If you’d like to purchase a light trigger, we recommend one of the two below.
