The Winter Light Collective
Join me this winter for The Winter Light Collective, an online, small, intimate workshop designed for photographers ready to immerse themselves in the art of light.
Light transforms photographs with emotion, beauty, and soul. When intentionally cultivated, it can also transform your creative life—staving off burnout, restoring momentum, and providing an abundant source of inspiration.
Over 4 weeks, you will experience a workshop unlike any other: a blend of technical mastery, creative mentorship, and deep artistic exploration. Together, we will explore off-camera flash—from simple one-light setups to advanced multi-light configurations—alongside my favorite painterly techniques, slow shutter blur, and the In-The-Round effect. You’ll go behind the scenes with me on in-depth photo shoots and learn how to see light as a storytelling tool, not just a formula.
This is more than a workshop. It’s a transformational creative experience. I will guide you through goal-setting, creative habits, and practices to cultivate inspiration and prevent burnout. You will leave with the skills, confidence, and artistic clarity to tell your stories with light—and a heart fueled for the winter ahead.
