WHY LIGHTING CARDS AND NOT A VIDEO COURSE?

While a video course is great and we love it, you can’t really stop your photoshoot and start watching a video in front of your clients to check upon information about the lighting set up you’re doing when you’re in doubt or don’t feel 100% confident.

That would be time consuming and most of all it wouldn’t look good, would it?

What you can do though, is to keep your Lighting Cards with you in the studio (either printed or on your phone) and have a quick look with all the information you need right there, fast and easy to solve your doubts and problems.

This is why these pdf cards are so amazing and irreplaceable!

Here’s what you’ll learn

• 30 lighting set ups
• Personal notes & tips
• Backstage photos
• Gear & equipment list
