Lighting Fundamentals: Portraits with Depth and Emotion

Join photographer and creative director Andrew Fennell for a hands-on lighting workshop at Studio3k NYC.

This small group session is designed for photographers who want to gain confidence using studio lighting to create portraits with depth and emotion. We will break down one-light and two-light setups step by step, then give every participant the chance to practice with guidance.

What you’ll learn:

• How to achieve professional portraits with one light
• How to add depth and separation with a second light
• How small changes in placement and modifiers transform the mood
• How to approach lighting with intention, not guesswork

What’s included:

• 2.5 hour workshop with demos and practice
• PDF of lighting diagrams used in class
• Time to shoot and experiment with gear
• Light refreshments
