Workshops Are Coming (Join the Waitlist)
I’m planning a small number of in-person IN-CAMERA workshops this year! 👉 Join the Workshops Waitlist Hands-on lighting. Real shooting. Real feedback. No watching from the sidelines. These workshops are designed for photographers who want to: - understand light instead of guessing - build confidence while shooting (not after) - walk away with stronger images and clearer instincts - finally unlock your flash powers with my simple lighting system I’m also exploring a few workshop + experience concepts — the kind where learning happens alongside great locations, great people, and space to actually create. Dates and locations won’t be announced publicly at first (the waitlist will get first access). If this is something you’d want to know about early, there’s now a simple waitlist. No commitment. No sales pitch. Just first access when details are ready. 👉 Join the Workshops Waitlist — Zach

Critique and Comments
I'm open to critique and comments on one of our Riverwalk images after a complete revamp of our lighting style. Anything you would do differently? Any suggestions for improvements?

This is really cool! My only suggestion would be to always minimize the bride posing wise. Meaning, pose her in a way where the groom dominates the frame slightly more and she is slightly tucked so he appears larger and her smaller. If she’s in front, she will appear largest in the frame. Longer lenses when possible will Also help compress and shoot slightly Higher if possible. When I can, I always try and get the bride slightly behind the groom.

Who wants a natural light photography content?
What do you want for 2026?? Please comment and let me know if you want natural light photography content! I had an entire course on natural light, but through some unfortunate circumstance, don’t have access to it. But, I could do a series of Core Lessons that go over my natural light system. Covering: 1. Perfect exposure (in camera 2. Perfect color (in camera) 3. Finding amazing natural light (indoors and out) Pleased comment and let me know!!
