NATIONWIDE: Lighting Classes

Are you a photographer who wants to revamp your shooting style? Looking to become a fashion photographer? Or, are you a novice photographer looking for something different? These courses are for you.

The lighting and technical classes I am providing will help inspire you professionally and teach you to see your vision through photography. I'm not trying to get you to shoot like me, I want you to leave this courses with an understanding that you can do it. This is about what you see mentally and making it a reality through fashion and/or commercial photography.

Each student will be asked to fill out a questionnaire before taking course(s). This will give me a better understanding of your direction and vision. You will receive questionnaire after deposit is made.

Testimonials from former students:

"I attended Jerris lighting classes not knowing anything about lighting. With his patience, understanding and knowledge he helped me with the many questions i needed answered. I learned everything from shooting inside a studio with a light meter to shooting outside with a strobe light. Since then i have grew from taking his lighting class and it has been one of the keys to my success as a successful fashion/advertising photographer."-Laretta Houston www.larettahouston.com

I'm one of the few that has had the chance to work with Jerris as a model and also him coaching me as a photographer. When I decided to try my hand with photography Jerris was right there when I called with questions open and willing to share idea's. Most photographer's would never share there idea's or secrets to great lighting but Jerris was different and I thank him for that. I remember one day, I called Jerris and introduced him to Laretta Houston (another photographer that had questions) and Jerris said I tell you what, I'm going to setup a two day lighting workshop for you guys so I can teach you studio lighting and location lighting. We both attended and the rest is history. Thanks for being a great coach and even more important, a great friend for life. Thanks Jerris! -Corey Reese
