Class Summary
Do you ever feel held back in your photography because you donโt have access to exclusive locations, huge budgets, tons of expensive gear, or top shelf talent? This class will show you how to not only create photography concepts that work within the space and gear you have access to, but will also show you ways in which you can manipulate that space to get the high possible production valueโand elevate your work to the professional level.

- Lighting: how do we light the photograph to help tell the story and make our space look the best it can?
- Color theory: how can we use color as an effective design tool?
