Learn how Sigma Ambassador Meg Loeks uses both natural and created light to strengthen storytelling within portraiture.

Participants will explore how Meg shapes light to strengthen the overall mood and atmosphere within her work. She will also walk through practical lighting setups that she often does in everyday spaces and home settings. From painterly to cinematic lighting, attendees will be able to see behind-the-scenes how Meg enhances emotion through shaping light.

This workshop will begin with a presentation and will continue with hands on portraits with lighting and models. This event is sponsored by SIGMA, and SIGMA lenses will be available to loan for the day. A SIGMA Tech Rep and a Hunt’s Photo Educator will also be available to answer questions throughout the day!
