SUMMARY:Blackout Studio and RGB lights - Photography Workshop with Aaron Ram
DESCRIPTION:Join renowned LA photographer Aaron Ram for a hands-on, immersive workshop focused on mastering artificial lighting in a fully blackout environment. Set inside Hill 2, FD Photo Studio’s premier blackout stage, this session teaches photographers how to control light with intention—eliminating ambient contamination and dialing in precision lighting for portrait, product, and experimental work.



Studio Hill 2 offers an 880 sq ft all-black space with a dimmable RGB light wall, ideal for manipulating shadows, highlights, and color tones. It's perfect for learning high-contrast lighting techniques, using gels creatively, and capturing cinematic images. You’ll work directly with model and makeup artist Michelle.
