Are you mystified by the results you see when a photographer adds light and you can’t figure out where to start? Do strobes and flashes intimidate you? Do you have a headache when adding artificial light to a scene? Have you been stuck creatively with your photography? If you've always wanted to get better results with your lighting but were fearful of the process or even where to start then join JC as he breaks down lighting into the simplest steps possible so that anyone with a basic understanding of camera functions can start producing more dynamic images immediately.  Get tips and tricks that can be used with any type or brand of lights (but they do work the best with Westcott :-P). JC will talk about the basics and dive into some more advanced concepts. In three (maybe a couple more) easy steps this class will take you from Fear to Flash.  Topics covered: Lens selection and how it relates to lighting The Process used to make lighting simple High Speed Sync/Rear Curtain Sync For Creativity Off Camera Lighting How To Choose A Modifier TTL vs Manual    Joseph “JC” Carey is a lifetime image maker that like many photographers was terrified of lighting until he was gifted with a class in 2007. The class (the only formal one he’s ever taken) was terrible with too much focus on the “recipes” rather than teach HOW to light but that gift changed everything. It lit a fire that has never stopped burning. It transformed him from someone that barely took pictures of people and knew nothing about lighting into someone still trying to figure out how to light everything.   The last 15 years have passed with him being blessed with a daughter, a career doing what he loves, multiple magazine covers, and with meeting amazing people and trying to create great images of them. The art of photography and taking pictures is his passion but the ability to make his vision a reality in a photograph is what truly drives him.   JC has taught all over the US including being part of the Staff at Summit Workshops.   JC is a professional photographer based in New Jersey as well as proudly joining Westcott as their East Coast Sales Manager in 2020 using their gear for the entirety of his lighting lifespan  Follow his Instagram at @JCPhotoMedia Lori Patrick brings her legacy style portraiture to Art Factory Studios via her Portrait Symposiums.
