Come learn lighting with Felix, live and in person
Felix’s in-person workshop will take your lighting to the next level.
Because the classes are small, Felix will take the time to learn about where each of you are at in your lighting journey and make sure you get what you need to level up. Think of this as a one-on one.
This is an opportunity for you to get to ask questions and take advantage of Felix’s broad knowledge of lighting as well as the photography industry.
He will show you what it takes to create portfolio worthy light every time and you may even find it’s simpler than you thought.
No-one else teaches like Felix. This is your chance to learn straight from the top.
It’s all about you
small class sizes
individual shoot time
access to Felix and his team
With small class sizes, everyone gets one-on-one time with Felix and his team. There’s no ‘group shooting’, each attendee gets individual time to photograph the model with each setup.
This is all about YOU. We want you to get as much out of this as possible. It’s not about Felix showing you what he can do, but rather showing you what YOU can do.
Felix is known for his candid and charming teaching style, and for making lighting simple to understand - to get it to ‘click’ for you.
You’ll walk away knowing how to create beautiful portraits with minimal equipment, and succeed in your business.
Great lighting makes you stand out from the competition, and helps serve your clients better.
There’s no complex maths involved, no ratios to learn, no jargon to master.
This class is for photographers at all levels, and not just for portrait photographers. All types of photographers will get a lot out of this.
Felix makes lighting simple
a personalized experience
Felix will spend some one-on-one time getting to know you and your work at the beginning of the day, tailoring the class and paying attention to everyone’s strengths and learning opportunities.
All to ensure you walk away inspired and with new tools to be even more creative.
Just bring your camera
we’ll take care of the rest
Felix’s team will take care of all technical details - all you need is your curiosity, a digital camera and something in the range of a 50mm, 35mm or 24-70mm lens. Your camera must have a hotshoe mount.
(Breakfast and Lunch are provided)
Imagine yourself finally getting to know the real secrets of how to light beautifully
Felix is passionate about helping photographers
Take advantage of this rare opportunity to learn from someone with so much experience and a track record of helping others succeed

“Felix’s in-person workshop has been one of the best investments ever! I used to be frightened of studio lights and hated the results - so in my early work, I have been relying on ever so unreliable daylight. Felix has completely changed that and these days I’m only using studio lights! The way he teaches and explains lighting is just amazing, he breaks it down in a way that is easy to understand and follow. The greatest thing about Felix is that he helps you understand light, to “think light” as I like to call it - so you can achieve beautiful results in any space and create magic yourself. To be able to watch Felix in-person, ask him questions and learn from him, was an amazing experience. I would highly recommend it to any photographer who wants to elevate their work!“

“Felix’s workshop was monumental in taking my work to the next level. I had been using only one light up to that point and Felix taught me how to expand beyond what I could do and create a depth to my work I had been wanting for so long.”

“I’ve recommended Felix’s in-person lighting workshop to other photographers so many times that I took my own advice and took it twice! I’ve taken multiple photo workshops over the years, but Felix’s are #1 on my list. Felix is approachable, easy to talk to, doesn’t make you feel embarrassed to ask questions and I gotta say, he’s very funny.”

"I attended this in person workshop in 2018 and it was WELL WORTH the investment of time and funds. I love Felix's online lighting class... AND the in person workshop really does help all the learning in that class to gel. Plus, great to get the opportunity to ask Felix questions in real time and, as always, to get to know some other photographers learning on the same path you are. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!"

"Wow! Felix's Lighting Workshop was so great. We learned how to set up and troubleshoot lighting which was so helpful to do in realtime 3D. I loved how he taught us how to work in our unique environments (e.g. small spaces, white walls, etc.). The small group size was nice because it gave us the opportunity to get all of our questions answered and any technical issues were resolved while shooting. Plus I got to make new friends! The shots I got during the class didn’t even need to be retouched, because the lighting was so good straight out of camera. "

"I had the pleasure and the privilege of attending a lightning course with Felix Kunze; and I would strongly recommend to anyone who enjoys working with minimal equipment and enjoys focusing on the client (instead of gear). The in-person workshop is almost a necessary add-on to the Lighting Series. Moreover, seeing the charming Felix Kunze in action helps with understanding how dimensionally dependent light is. You actually develop a skill versus learning metrics and measurements. For that matter, Felix never relied on the light meter or spend time fiddling with his camera and nor did any of the participants. I hope to attend a follow-up workshop as soon as he offers one."

"I’ve watched every Felix video I could find multiple times, made notes, and worked with others to copy the techniques. After all that, attending the workshop was invaluable. Working hands-on, in-person, in a five-person group increased my knowledge a lot and corrected many misunderstandings."

"I took Felix's lighting class in Brooklyn back in 2018 and it was amazing! Let me tell you, the Felix you see in his videos is his authentic self! He is just as kind, down to earth and teaches in person just like you see online. He is patient and will answer any questions you have. I'm a visual person so the in person workshop worked perfectly for me as Felix and his team had everything set up, ready to go and encouraged me to get in there an not be afraid of the equipment. Not to mention, you get to SEE his space he shoots in. 10/10 would recommend!!!"

"Grateful to have been able to attend the NYC Workshop with Felix Kunze! It really helped me fine tune my understanding, and expand on the Lighting Series class. The team he had for the class made it so comfortable, and I really enjoyed meeting other photographers. Highly recommend the in person workshops for anyone who knows they learn best “hands on” or wish to expand and better understand with the ability to ask real time questions. I cannot wait to practice in my Seattle studio!"

"I have taken several online classes from Felix however, I have always desired to attend in-person sessions. I believe such classes would allow me to delve deeper into the subject matter, gain more personalized experiences, and ask specific questions about the challenges I face when applying his lessons to real on-location shoots with my clients. Fortunately, his one-day NY workshop provided precisely what I was looking for - a wealth of knowledge and newfound confidence in studio lighting."

The finer details
Breakfast:
We will serve breakfast and tea/coffee.
Introductions:
After a reasonable arrival time, we will spend some time at the beginning of the workshop to get to know each other, and for me to see some of each of your work. This is not a portfolio review, but an opportunity to learn about where you are at in your lighting journey and get to know you. We’ll then tailor the workshop to help each attendee attain the maximum progress in their lighting.
Lighting:
We will then spend some time going over some basics of lighting, and go right into demonstrations with our beautifully made up and styled model.
We will go through a series of different setups, each building on the last to give you the skills you need to learn how to create beautiful soft light in any indoor space. It’s simpler than you think.
Lunch:
Lunch will be provided and we will cater to any dietary restrictions.
Shoot time:
Each attendee gets one-on-one shoot time for each setup we work through. We will work through a variety of styling and lighting options.
Wrap:
We usually wrap at around 5 or 5:30pm and then after a small break will rejoin for dinner.
Dinner:
After the workshop you can join the optional dinner, a chance to relax and get to know each other more and chat with Felix and crew in a more casual setting.
