Lighting 101 Intro Video
What Makes This Workshop Unique?
- Amazing Images with Basic Gear – In this entire workshop, we create all the images with just an on-camera flash and inexpensive lighting modifiers. This allows us to focus on the foundation of lighting, light shaping, and light modification.
- Focus on Techniques, Not Gear – All you need for this workshop is a camera, on-camera flash, and basic modifiers. This makes it the most accessible workshop on the market for learning flash photography. If you happen to have or want more lighting gear, then this knowledge will serve as your foundation, giving you full control in creating your exact desired look.
- Slides Included – We include all of the PDF slides for you to review and study after watching the workshop. This should solidify your understanding and get you ready to continue on to Lighting 201, where we start to use multiple flashes.
- Variety of Styles Created – We teach you how to create a variety of looks, from natural looking imagery (for portraits, family, etc) to dramatic imagery (for fitness, fashion, etc).
- Creative Techniques – We teach you how to use mixed white balance and different colored Gels to create interesting and creative imagery.

I can´t wait to purchase this course and advance my lighting skills and take it to the next level.
According to the trailer, this course seems very interesting!
Should I buy an hot shoe flash before purchasin these tutorial?
I am not sure was is the best.
not necessary, i am watching it completely to see what I rather buy. Lots of good information in there which can always be rewatched after you what you want/need.
I would like to see a class that deals with flash when used in things other than portrait photography. I have seen many classes offered for flash for portrait photography but I never see a flash class for shooting things like interiors or products. There is so much more to use a flash for. I guess I will continue to read books and practice.
I purchased this series on Sunday and I can truly say I have no regrets. I highly recommend it, it has nothing but great info.
That’s probably the BEST intro video to a course I’ve ever seen. Top notch!
just bought myself a copy, great videos and will hopefully remember what is being tought
I am only a few chapters in and I am LOVING this workshop! Highly recommend!
Looking great from the trailer, Photography 101 was really great, with humor, and great tips and easy to understand teaching, so looking forward to this one, because the Flash kinda scares me It’s more luck than Skills, when I get a great picture with flash :)
Btw. is the Camera man still happy to change the angles during Pye’s talking.
I laughed a bit when I saw Pye talking to the camera and then suddenly the Camera was at the side of Pye, while he was still talking :)
It’s no critique, just something that made me laugh a bit.
I just downloaded this yesterday! I can’t wait to get started. I learned so much from the Lightroom course & I’m sure this course will be no different.
Hello Pye, this looks like exactly what I’ve been waiting for. In your video though, you don’t say how many hours the Lighting 101 course is. How many hours to watch in total?
Thanks for all your help
Joe
Hey Joe
Think it’s a little over 9 hours of content
Can’t wait to buy this! : )
I purchased this “Awesome” video series. I have not had this much fun learning about lighting, since watching the Dean Collins videos back in the day, ha, ha. This could be the “Best” lighting video yet. Looking forward to Lighting 201, 301, and 401. Thank you Pye and the team at SLR Lounge for putting together an “Awesome” product.
This looks like a cool course.
I have been waiting for this. Thanks Pye!
