Jerry Ghionis, Westcott Top Pro, Nikon Ambassador, and the most awarded photographer of WPPI, will teach you how to understand light in the simplest way you’ve ever heard and seen it explained. He will show you how you can understand it by likening it to water, even if it’s a light source you’ve never used before. He will share his creative process of adding more drama to your photos. Whether you’re a portrait, wedding, fashion or boudoir photographer, this seminar will help simplify your approach and help realize that technically, lighting is not the most important entity in a photo but the subtraction of light. Jerry will also teach you how to recognize good light, create good light and how to turn so-called bad light into lighting that has depth, dimension and drama.

 

Added Bonus!
