Light 101: Intro to Visual Storytelling — Workshop #3

Learn how light shapes mood, meaning, and emotion in images using accessible tools and environments.

About This Workshop

Light 101: Light as a Story explores how light functions as a powerful storytelling tool. Participants will examine how light direction, quality, and contrast influence emotional tone — using both natural and artificial light.

This workshop focuses on seeing light and using it intentionally, rather than relying on expensive equipment.
