JC Carey: Keeping It Simple: One Light Plus the Sun Outdoors

JC Carey: Keeping It Simple: One Light Plus the Sun Outdoors

Lighting doesn’t have to be complicated—or confined to the studio.

In this hands-on, one-hour photography experience with JC Carey of JCPhotoMedia, we’ll take
the simplicity of a one-light setup outside and explore how to creatively mix flash with natural
ambient light. Perfect for beginners and mid-level photographers, this session is all about building confidence, having fun, and learning how to use one light to enhance your outdoor
photography—not overpower it.

JC’s signature process-based teaching style will help you understand how and why light works,
so you can adapt to any outdoor scene without relying on memorized setups. You’ll see how a
single light can transform midday sun, add drama to golden hour, or create something entirely
unexpected.

You’ll learn:
• How to balance flash with ambient light for natural or dramatic results
• The key camera and flash settings to dial in quickly and confidently
• How to position your light outdoors for maximum creative control
• Why one light and a good eye are often all you need
Whether you’re new to lighting or just looking to expand your creative playbook, this session
will change the way you see light—and what you can do with it.
