One Week of Studio Lighting in Kona, Hawaii

Students work from 2006

YWAM School of Photography 1

Students go from not knowing how to turn on the strobes in one week to doing incredible work. My job is to take the fear out of trying new things and teach them some basics upon which they can build.

Take a look at these shows showing you some of the student’s work through the years. I think you will be impressed as I was with their first time shooting with studio strobes.

Here are the students’ work from 2006


In the studio
Mixing the strobes with available light

These photos are from the students’ work in 2007.

We shoot and let everyone see each other work on monitors, this way; we are learning not just by doing but observing as well.
The school has a variety of lights for the students to practice within the class. Here we have the JTL battery pack system letting you shoot outside with studio lights and radio remotes.
Students learn they can shoot at dusk and night with the strobes. Next, the students mixed strobes with available light and added a flashlight to write the word “Viking” beside the subject, his nickname.
