Bad lighting doesn’t just weaken pictures, it costs you clients

Photos without good lighting get deleted. If you can’t control your lighting, clients won’t book you. The solution? Attend the workshop that will help you master light so you can grow your business.

The Solution

The “master Light” workshop

When you can take the pictures that used to baffle you, you grab attention, clients book you, and you make more money.

That’s why we do these workshops - 4 hours of guided shooting in our studio with professional models, to give you a mastery of lighting so you can stop losing clients to photographers who have the skills you don’t.

Each workshop is hands-on & tailored to your specific needs so you can confidently start attracting new clients the next day.

Dr. Marc Elieson once struggled with lighting, too. He understands how it can impact your confidence and cost you clients.

Now, he’s been a professional photographer for over 15 years & featured by National Geographic twice. He made enough from his photography business to open Temple Star Studios. He looks forward to helping you master light.

What past attendees Said

  • For the first hour, practical hands on discussion and exercises to ensure you have a complete understanding of studio lighting.

    Then, 3 hours photographing a professional model in a minimum of 4 looks - fashion, fitness, lifestyle, and costume.

  • You’ll walk away with an improved understanding of light and lighting equipment. Skills you could use for the rest of your career.

    And hundreds of expert photos YOU shot to add to your portfolio…

    Giving you the confidence to charge higher for your hard work. And the means to attract new clients.

    Basically, you might have jump-started the rest of your career shooting with anything other than just natural light.

    We also include an hour of free studio time for you to redeem within 2 months with the purchase of your ticket.

  • In order for you to actually master these skills in 4 hours, we need to give you enough time to fully apply yourself.

    We can only do that with 3 people.

    But if you don’t make the cut this month, we can notify you of future workshops.

  • Tickets are $400.

    This allows us to

    1) Keep the workshop quality HIGH (meet & network with other serious photographers committed to growing their business)

    2) Give you access to professional teachers and models (not just anybody)

    If you haven’t already made $1,000 from your photography business, don’t apply.

    But if you have… chances are we can help you grow your business further with a mastery of light.

    All sales are final.
