In this class, join instructor Alicja Colon, as we dive into one of the most powerful tools in photography: light. Whether you’re using a DSLR or your phone, mastering how light behaves will transform the way you shoot.
We’ll explore the characteristics of light—from flat vs. shaped, bounced vs. direct, to hard and soft—and how each affects mood, depth, and storytelling. You’ll also learn how to use fill and rim light to highlight your subject, the difference between long and short lighting, and how color temperature influences your image’s tone and emotion.
By the end of this session, you’ll be equipped to see light differently, and use it creatively no matter what gear you’re using.
Required: phone with camera
