Many photographers who visit our studios are fascinated by beautiful ambient light each stage gets. Yet not that many take advantage of 3 strobe lights positioned in each space we offer. After series of interviews/feedback we received from our clients, it turns out that a good number of photographers is actually inexperienced in working with strobes and to save time just sticks to what they know best – working with natural light only.
While we understand the situation and position of working on the clock, it hurts to know that so many opportunities and great photos will never “see the light” (no pun) coming from strobes. Luckily we came up with pretty neat workshop that will teach you hands-on on how to setup, position and tune strobe lights for your best creative outcome. Ladies and gentlemen, we deeply encourage you to attend our STUDIO LIGHTING and 3-LIGHT SET UP with Toma Kostygina.Toma Kostygina INSTAGRAM WEBSITE
