A ROOM. A LIGHT. A STORY.PHOTOGRAPHY / TDMC19

01 Light with intention.

02 Build the atmosphere.

03 Make the frame yours.

THE EXPERIENCE

See the decisions.
Make the photograph.

What makes the light work? Why this angle? How do you direct a feeling? We work through the choices behind a cinematic image.

01 / UNDERSTANDMASTERCLASS

Learn to see the scene.

I break down my approach so you can understand why an image works and use those ideas in your own photography.

  • Turn references into a visual idea.
  • Use composition and colour to create mood.
  • Shape light, shadows and atmosphere.
  • Direct a model and communicate emotion.
02 / CREATEWORKSHOP

Bring the scene to life.

Watch the setup take shape, ask questions as we go, then take your own photographs with guidance.

  • Follow the lighting setup step by step.
  • Explore angles, reflections and practical lights.
  • Work with the model and the environment.
  • Try your own ideas and get feedback.

Both parts are included in the Full Day Pass.

He also took away my fear of playing with colours when lighting subjects, for which I am grateful.

YOUR GUIDE

Hi, I’m Chiến.

I build photographs around light, atmosphere and emotion. In these sessions, I share the decisions behind my work and help you explore those ideas with your own camera.

You can ask why, try a different angle and see what happens when the light changes. That is where it starts to make sense.

you might ask.

Need help choosing?
