Peek At Just A Little Bit Of His Portfolio
Here's What Photographers Are
Saying About LightWork Live
"Before coming in the studio I was not confident, Now because of you I feel so confident which means now I can attract clients who are willing to pay more...."
- Jason J.
"I would walk into the studio and not know how to use all these big lights and set ups.. Now i'm confident to go in studio and do it"
- Mykah D.
"After this class, I feel confident that im going to book more clients!"
- Carmen D.
You Know Clients Want That CLEAN Studio Look. But Walking In There And Actually Lighting It? That's Where You Freeze.
- A client sends you an inspo photo. It looks incredible. And instead of "I got you," something in you hesitates so you wing it, or you pass on the booking.
- You see something fire on Pinterest or another photographer's page "man, that'd look good in my portfolio" but you have no idea how to light it.
- Your white background comes out gray, or the whole thing goes black, and you don't know why.
- Your shots come out grainy or too dark and you can't tell which setting did it.
- You spend 45 minutes fumbling in the studio when the shoot should already be moving.
- You're stuck shooting only the looks you already know so the work (and the money) stays capped.
Which Is Exactly Why I Created A One-Day Class Just For You.

Introducing...
LightWork Live
This is where you stop freezing up in the studio and finally
start lighting with confidence, minus the overwhelm.
During this one day, virtual class, I'm going to show you:
- The essential gear you actually need to start in the studio — not all the extra stuff they try to sell you ($0 / $100 / $1,000 — what to get, what to skip)
- The exact camera settings for studio shoots — dialed for your camera, whether it's a $100 body or 10 years old, so shots stop coming out grainy or too dark (and white balance finally makes sense)
- How to look at any photo — one you found or one a client sent — and know how to light it yourself

- Lighting terms dumbed all the way down — and which ones to ignore completely for now

Access To The Event ($3,000 Value)
1 Ticket To LightWork LIVE
Ever sit in a photography video and hear someone say "feather the key light off the gobo" and just stare at the screen? Yeah. Same.
This is your plain English cheat sheet for every confusing lighting term photographers throw around: softbox, Rembrandt lighting, sync speed, inverse square law, all broken down so simple a 10 year old could get it. No more nodding along pretending you understand. You'll actually know.
FREE BONUS #1 ($297 Value)
Walk Out With Real Portfolio Images
This ain't a look and learn class. You're not sitting there taking notes while I shoot and somebody else gets the glory.
We got the models handled. We built a whole creator set just for this. So the second you learn the GPS Method, you turn around and shoot it yourself, for real, with a real model, on a real set.
You don't walk out with just a memory of what you watched. You walk out with images you can post today. Actual portfolio work. Real proof you can do this, not just a feeling that you maybe can.

I Help Photographers Turn The Fear
Of Shooting In-Studio Into "I Got You"
Confident enough to walk into any studio and execute and confident enough to try any inspo photo they get or see.
Here's what students have pulled off:

first mentee within 2 days
Nayla went from struggling to sell a course to enrolling over 10 mentorship students
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need To Already Know My Camera?
Nope. This is built for beginners and part-timers getting into studio work. Every setting and term gets broken down in plain English.
Do I Need To Already Know What Lights To Buy?
No — I'll teach you the difference and tell you exactly what you need (and what to skip) at every budget, from $0 to $1,000.
Will This Be Hands-On? Will I Get To Take Photos?
Yes. You'll shoot as you learn and walk away with portfolio shots from the day.
How Is This Different From Free YouTube / IG?
Free content gives you random tips that skip the settings and leave you guessing. LightWork Live gives you a simple, repeatable system, your exact settings, and hands-on reps in a real studio — so you can recreate any look, not just watch someone else do it.
