Foundations of Studio Lighting Workshop: The Art of Light

Learn to master studio lighting and transform your portraits in this hands-on, three hour creative workshop!



3 hours Class size 1 to 10 guests    

  $150 - $170 ($170 per guest when you book for 1+ guests, $150/guest for 3+ guests) (Afterpay available)

See light differently. Shape it. Control it. Paint with it. Step beyond the basics and enter the world where photography becomes the art of painting with light.
In this immersive three hour masterclass, you’ll learn to observe, shape and control light with intention—transforming it from something accidental into a powerful storytelling tool. No more guesswork. You’ll begin to truly see how light behaves and learn how to make it serve your vision.
What to expect:
  • Discover how light quality—from soft and flattering to sharp and dramatic—defines the mood of your images.
  • Learn to balance brightness, shadow, and depth through falloff, distance, and power control.
  • Explore how subtle changes in angle, modifier, and texture can sculpt the human face and body.
  • Hands-on practice with professional studio lighting setups under clear step-by-step guidance.
  • Photograph a model and experiment with creative light patterns to add emotion and depth to your portfolio.
  • Gain a deep understanding of how to design lighting that feels intentional, expressive, and professional.
Recommended for photographers who have attended the free Fundamentals Workshop or already understand exposure basics.

Hi, I’m Amir, the founder of Crown Visual Studio in South Melbourne.
Photography has been part of my life since childhood — my father was a photographer, and I grew up surrounded by cameras, film, and the magic of light. I used to experiment endlessly with images, curious about how a small change in angle or light could completely transform a photo. That curiosity never faded; it evolved into a lifelong passion and eventually a career.
Over the years, I’ve attended numerous workshops and mastered both natural and studio lighting, learning from top professionals and refining my own creative style. Today, through Crown Visual Studio, I specialize in portrait, fashion, and commercial photography, and I’ve worked with clients from Melbourne to international collaborations.
Teaching came naturally — I love seeing the moment when someone truly understands light for the first time. My workshops are hands-on, creative, and designed to help photographers gain confidence and develop their own visual voice.
Photography, for me, isn’t just about taking pictures — it’s about connection, storytelling, and the beautiful discipline of seeing the world through light.
