Ever wanted to work with hard light, but find it daunting, challenging and unforgiving?

Our hard light workshop will guide you through the ins and outs of shooting with hard light, and get you familiar with a series of unique and dynamic lighting styles.

This immersive in-studio workshop with commercial and portrait photographer Shaun Li of @capturethepresent explores the creative power of hard light using the @profoto lighting system.

Designed for photographers looking to elevate their studio lighting skills, this session offers a behind-the-scenes look at how intentional hard light can be used to create striking, modern imagery for commercial, portrait, and editorial applications.

Shaun will demonstrate multiple hard-light setups live – from clean, sunlight-inspired looks to sculpted, cinematic portraits and contemporary editorial styles. Featuring some obvious and some not so obvious ways of utilising hard light.☀️
