This Lighting Laboratory offers photographers an opportunity to experience 4 different lighting scenarios. The lighting equipment will be provided and configured in advance. Photographers will need to bring triggers for their cameras.

Attendees will benefit from introductory guidance by expert photographers and the opportunity to photograph models with each scenario.

In addition, photographers can build their portfolios and network with other photographers in the community.
