JC Carey: Keeping It Simple – One-Light Studio

Lighting doesn’t have to be complicated to be powerful.

In this fast-paced, hands-on photography experience with JC Carey of JCPhotoMedia, we’ll strip
lighting down to its most essential—and most creative—form: the one-light setup. Designed for
beginners and mid-level photographers who are ready to get over their fear of flash, this one-hour
class is all about making lighting simple, approachable, and fun.

JC will walk you through how to get the most out of a single light source—no matter your space,
subject, or style. Using the same process-based approach from his full From Fear to Flash
workshop, this session focuses on understanding what light does and how to control it, rather
than memorizing rigid formulas.

You’ll learn:
• Why one light is often all you need
• How light position, distance, and modifiers change the story
• How to creatively problem-solve in real time
• How to build confidence and consistency with your lighting
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to add more intention to your toolkit, this class will
help you see light differently—and give you the skills to create with it.
