About the Event
We’ll explore how to step away from client-driven routines and intentionally carve out time to experiment, play, and discover what truly inspires you. You’ll learn how to identify the visual elements, subjects, and emotions that keep showing up in your work—your unique artistic fingerprints—and how to nurture them into a recognizable personal style.
We’ll also demystify “signature lighting” by showing you how to blend technique with creativity. From simple setups you can practice at home to ways of shaping light that express your artistic voice, this class will guide you toward creating images that feel unmistakably yours. You’ll leave with practical exercises, fresh inspiration, and a clear path to making your photography more personal, more consistent, and more artistically fulfilling.
