JC Carey: From Fear to Flash – Hands-On Lighting Lab

You’ve learned the why—now it’s time to put it into action.

This hands-on lighting workshop is the practical companion to JC Carey’s popular From Fear to Flash class, designed to help you turn process into practice. Whether you’ve attended the original session or are just ready to dive in and learn by doing, this workshop gives you the space, guidance, and support to build real confidence with flash—one step at a time.

In this experience-based session, you’ll work directly with lights, modifiers, and real-world scenarios to explore the process JC teaches: understanding what light does, shaping it with intention, and making creative choices that support your vision.

You’ll learn (by doing):
• How to approach a lighting setup without feeling overwhelmed
• The role of light placement, power, and modifier choice
• How to see and adjust light through deliberate experimentation
• How to adapt quickly when conditions change—indoors or out
• How to troubleshoot without panic and build setups that work for you
This is not a lighting recipe book—it’s a creative lab. You’ll be encouraged to play, question,
refine, and most importantly, shoot. JC will be there every step of the way to offer coaching,
insight, and help you unlock the creative power of controlled light.

Bring your camera, curiosity, and a willingness to experiment. It’s time to turn fear into
confidence—and flash into creativity.
