## Overview

Light is the photographer’s most powerful medium. Professional photographers know how to shape it and reflect it, divert it and redirect it. They can tame its harshness and coax it into a subtle glow, use it to dispel troublesome shadows or highlight a striking moment. 

Effectively curating light during a shoot can bridge the gap between mediocre images and truly captivating photography. All it takes to bend light to your will is knowledge of the right gear, and when to use it. Tony Corbell is a professional photographer and a master of studio lighting. Join Tony for this course, and you will learn:

- How to use light shaping tools and their specific uses
- How to creatively use reflectors of all kinds
- How to use soft boxes, umbrellas, ring flashes, and other unique tools in the studio

Tony will draw on his decades of experience to teach you a full technical understanding of the gear you need to shape light to your purpose.
