Title: Studio Lighting: From Essential Setups to Total Creative Control
Session Type: Live Demo
Description: Join Eli Infante for a live, hands-on demonstration in which he breaks down studio lighting into simple, repeatable setups and shows you how to transform those foundations into dynamic, creative looks.

This 1-hour-and-45-minute session is perfect for photographers who want to build confidence in the studio while learning to create both clean, client-ready portraits and more stylized, portfolio-driven work.

You’ll start with the essentials, learning fail-proof lighting setups for consistent, professional results using minimal gear. Then, Eli will build on that foundation by introducing creative tools, such as the optical spot, to shape light with precision and add depth, drama, and storytelling to your images.
