What the students are saying

"This class has been a complete game changer for me! If I could recommend one course to film photographers, and even digital photographers, it would be how to use strobes to create natural looking light. My confidence in my work has skyrocketed since I’ve taken Sandra's class and used her technique!"

Obessing over my Santa images! 29 sessions! Not to brag, but I made over 5K... Numbers I couldn't even imagine being natural light photographer just 8 months ago. Best, part, considering the amount of images, editing was a breeze because my settings were the same. I literally locked them on my camera during sessions and was able to give my full attention to my little clients. I know a lot of people think strobes may be too "flashy", but if you learn how to use them correctly + add a few tricks when editing.

Kate Weingarten
I have had my tiny home studio up and running for a little over one year now, and I love, love, love artificial light! Editing is now a breeze and I was able to take on 38 more sessions last year because of my little studio! 38!!!! That is HUGE for me. My goal is to eventually only offer studio sessions because the light is so easy to work with.
