Are your portraits falling flat? It’s time to master the light.
Most photographers know how to take a good photo, but taking a dramatic, three-dimensional portrait that instantly commands attention? That requires a true, scientific understanding of lighting.
Join us for our next PPLA Member-to-Member event: Creating Dramatic Images, led by the highly decorated James W. Byron.
If you want your work to stand out to both your clients and your peers, James is going to teach you exactly how to "write with light." In this 3-hour intensive workshop, you will learn the mechanics of creating depth, including:
✅ How to make your images truly 3-dimensional and separate your subject from the background.
✅ The critical science of lighting: Mastering BDE (Basic Daylight Exposure).
✅ Understanding the ISL (Inverse Square Law) to manipulate light falloff and create deep, moody drama.
✅ How to turn light into your greatest tool, rather than your biggest frustration.
Meet Your Instructor: You are learning from a true master of the craft. James W. Byron holds his Master of Photography, Photographic Craftsman, is a Certified Professional Photographer, an API Approved Photographic Instructor, and is a recipient of the prestigious Imaging Excellence and National Awards.
