My fear of Lighting
I am so excited about this workshop. I am in the process of opening a home studio and I'm pretty confident in everything except lighting. It keeps me up at night and my confidence level drops when I think about it. I have very little natural light, so all I will have is studio lighting. I want to get it right in camera, not in post-production.
Fear stops success. Everyone has their fears – spiders, snakes, darkness, etc. Most of these fears are either caused by people's imagination, or are harmless. Visualization, buy soundcloud follow and gradual exposure are techniques often recommended for tackling fears. keep practicing, buy soundcloud downloads, building your strength because often, the fear of the thing is worse than the reality.
Well, if you want to have proper lighting, you must use reflectors.

I watched every minute and purchased the course because Don explained lighting in a way I understood and my fear has been reduced by 90%. I can't wait to start using what I learned and rewatching the workshop, I know I will learn something else. THANKS Don and CL
Hi everyone,
I have purchased Zacarias course "foundation of a working photographer" and it's amazing, but I find some stuff here with Don that aren't mentioned by Zach, so I wonder weather it will be good for me to add this course to my purchase or have I better to buy the first course of Zach for a complete vision. I'm really afraid to have redundant information.
I also have the course of Sandy Puc because that's exactly the kind of photography I want : babies & families.
I'm confident about my camera settings skills with a bit of flash knowledge but I feel it's not enough to run a successful photography business.
What do you think? Thank you in advance.
A perfect opportunity to learn from the big guys, I think. I'm so grateful to be able to enjoy this opportunity!
I can't wait. ... I, just as so many others, am working towards and learning as much as I get the chance to, in order to be able to start - as well prepared as I can be - my own photography business. I've been bitten by the bug, and am still enjoying it every single day. Still every single day ... I am fascinated and (how do I say this) invigorated, or - maybe better said - It makes me happy, gives me joy, it fills my dreams, it touches on my fascination with electronics, technology, social awareness, networking, physics, chemistry, organisation-skills, in short everything in life is connected to photography, well in my life. In the meantime - since I picked up my first camera a few years ago, I haven't once stopped being utterly fascinated by the endless possibilities, being actively evolved with photography, has brought me, and is still going to bring me.
But I am a somewhat careful or hesitant person maybe, in the sense that I take a long time before I am confident enough to take the plunge to start with my own business. I still have a great deal to learn before I will be proficient enough to step up to potential clients knowing what I am, and what I'm worth. Apart from the fact I have very bad vision to where my clients are or could be. This is my greatest fear almost. Since that is the biggest / most important thing at first in starting a business ... making enough money to live and to grow as a business.
Again I can't wait to get started with Don Giannatti, and learn some beautiful insights in this enigma of lighting.
I also agree! I need help with lighting the most of everything! My studio doesnt have much natural light either! :(
I am in the same boat. I have complete confidence in my camera settings and understanding exposure, composition, etc but in the past when I have tried to learn lighting with my speedlight, I'm lost. Every class I've had just explains the flash settings and buttons, but not how to really *use* it or use it well. I'm not sure if this would be a good class for me where I'm at or if there is something else here at CreativeLIVE that would be more appropriate.
