LightWorks: Exploring Diffusers with Nanlite (Free Class!)

To celebrate LightWorks, Precision Camera & Video's very first Lighting Expo, we're offering free classes as a resource to learn and find inspiration.

What happens when you change the shape, size, or direction of your light?

Find out in this hands-on portrait lighting workshop with Nanlite's Silvia Pangaro, where you'll experiment with a variety of modifiers and discover just how dramatically they can change the look and feel of a photograph.

From soft, flattering portraits to punchy, directional light, you'll see firsthand how softboxes, umbrellas, beauty dishes, and grids shape light differently—and how to choose the right modifier for the look you want.

What You'll Explore

• Softboxes — Create controlled, flattering light and learn how size and shape affect the final image.
• Umbrellas — Discover the versatility of one of the simplest and most effective lighting modifiers.
• Beauty Dishes — Explore the distinctive contrast, shape, and definition they bring to portraits.
• Grids — Control spill and create more focused, dramatic lighting.
