JC Carey: Level Up the Light – Multi-Strobe Made Simple

JC Carey: Level Up the Light – Multi-Strobe Made Simple

Ready to take the next step beyond one light? This hands-on workshop with JC Carey of
JCPhotoMedia is designed for photographers who’ve dipped their toes into lighting and are now
looking to confidently add more strobes to the mix—without getting overwhelmed.
Building on the foundational concepts from From Fear to Flash and One-Light Magic, this
session focuses on keeping multi-light setups simple, intentional, and creative. Whether you
want to separate your subject from the background, create dynamic rim lighting, or craft a full
three-light portrait setup, JC will show you how to approach complex lighting scenarios with
clarity and control.

Rather than relying on rigid lighting diagrams or one-size-fits-all recipes, JC’s process-first approach helps you think through your lighting one step at a time—so you can adapt, problem-
solve, and create images that are uniquely yours.

You’ll learn:
• How to build a lighting setup one light at a time

• The role and purpose of each light in a multi-strobe setup
• How to balance power, position, and modifiers for creative effect
• Real-world techniques for indoor and outdoor environments
• How to troubleshoot and simplify when things get tricky
This workshop is for those ready to level up their lighting, without losing the fun or freedom that
comes from understanding why your setup works.

Bring your gear, bring your questions, and get ready to light smarter—not just bigger.
More lights. More control. Still simple. Still you.
