In this dynamic session, Chloe Ramirez will guide photographers through the art of using light as a storytelling tool. With a focus on strobe lighting, attendees will learn how to shape light with intention, create atmosphere through shadow and contrast, and approach lighting as a creative signature rather than a technical checklist.

Whether you are working in a studio or on location, this class will inspire you to think beyond traditional lighting techniques and explore bold, emotive approaches that bring depth and cinematic quality to your work.

What you'll learn:
📸Techniques for creating cinematic lighting using strobes
📸 How to shape light with emotion and mood in mind
📸 Approaches to building atmosphere through shadow, contrast, and creative direction
📸 Confidence to move beyond “safe” lighting and take creative risks with intention
