Studio 151 Learning Lab: Photography Foundations Series — Lighting Basics

Studio 151 Learning Lab: Photography Foundations Series — Lighting Basics
Photography starts with light—but understanding how to actually use it is where most people get stuck.
This session is designed to simplify lighting in a way that makes sense for real-world shooting. Instead of a traditional lecture, we’ll learn through curated video content, pausing to break things down, ask questions, and connect it to real studio work.
You’ll see how lighting works, talk through it as a group, and then have the chance to explore it hands-on.
