Workshop instructor Adam Chilson creates his jaw-dropping imagery through the lens, using little and often zero Photoshop or digital post-editing, and teaches from this perspective.

The studio lighting workshop series focuses on controlled lighting techniques for portrait and artistic nude photography, along with set-building elements to create eye-catching images.


Each full-day workshop combines demonstration and discussion of lighting setups with hands-on practice, and multiple shooting sets with fine art models.
