SEEING THE LIGHT

A workshop for wedding photographers

We’re excited to announce our 2025 Cairns photography workshop – ‘Seeing the Light‘.

Over the past 10 years, we have run this workshop across New Zealand & Australia, to over 100 wedding photographers.

Here are some details about the day :

Overview :

The focus of the workshop is on finding, using, and creating dramatic and interesting lighting. Including :

Natural light – looking for interesting lighting in “normal” situations (bride & groom prep, creative shoot)
Off-camera flash – creative portraits using flash
Creating dramatic backlit rain photos
Using video lights at a wedding reception
On-camera flash on the dancefloor & in dark venues

Structure :

The workshop includes a mix of seminar style learning, live demonstrations, and then a shooting section where you can try out the techniques and setups we have been learning.
The are two shooting sessions – one in daylight focusing on natural light, and one at night focusing on flash / added light.

Level / Audience :

Because we are primarily wedding photographers, the workshop is structured around wedding photography. However, portrait photographers will also find the content applicable.
Having an understanding of using your camera in manual mode is ideal for this workshop.
You don’t necessarily need to know anything about using flash or video light – as we cover from the basics & build up.
