The Society of Photographers is pleased to announce a new full-day seminar on photographic lighting.

Take your first step towards mastering studio lighting in this beginner-friendly course, taught by industry expert Gary Hill.

This workshop is designed for photographers who are new to studio setups, offering a comprehensive introduction to essential lighting techniques. You'll dive into the basics of lighting equipment, learn to understand light direction, and discover how to work with modifiers like softboxes and reflectors. The course will show you how to craft flattering portraits by using a combination of natural and artificial light sources.

By the end of this session, you'll have the confidence to set up and control your own studio lighting for various types of shoots—from family portraits to professional headshots.

This seminar is limited on space, so booking early is advised to ensure your place.
