Fullerton-Batten, known for her distinctive cinematic style, developed this workshop in response to frequent inquiries about her creative process.

The intensive program promises to break down the craft of lighting through hands-on demonstrations and practical instruction.

The workshop will feature a custom scene setup in a large studio environment, incorporating complex lighting arrangements, multiple professional models, and a full production team including hair and makeup artists. Participants will also have access to professional props and wardrobe elements, creating an authentic commercial photography experience that mirrors Fullerton-Batten's professional workflow.

Attendees will learn comprehensive lighting techniques including equipment selection and maximization, light shaping methods, and creating cinematic atmosphere. The curriculum covers advanced topics such as mixing available light with flash photography, shooting background plates, and the importance of nuanced post-production work. Additionally, participants will gain insights into directing talent effectively and crafting compelling visual narratives.

The workshop will also focus on color palette control for achieving cohesive visual aesthetics, a hallmark of Fullerton-Batten's acclaimed work. These techniques have made her one of the most sought-after art photographers internationally, with her distinctive style recognized across the photography industry.

The event will take place at Thunder Studios, located at 20434 S Santa Fe Ave, Long Beach, CA 90810.
