When you truly master light, you can capture gorgeous images outdoors and create beautiful light indoors without fail – even if you are working with a celebrity who only has a few minutes to spare.  

As a photographer, you must see light differently than an ordinary person because you need to understand how your camera sees it. In this ultimate lighting course, celebrity photographer Matthew Jordan Smith teaches you how to master light, so that you can get great photos every single time.

Matthew Jordan Smith has made a career making people look beautiful, and much of that look has come from how he approaches lighting his subjects. In his Celebrity Lighting course, Smith shares his unique approach for lighting his subjects and guides you through the process of learning photography lighting. 

You’ll discover how to see light that will naturally give you beautiful images, and you’ll learn how to recreate that light and produce cinematic lighting effects in the studio, using different types of light modifiers, strobe lights, and constant lights. During the training, Smith shows you how to work with the tools that helped him become one of the most sought-after photographers of our time. And, you’ll learn how to create a consistent lighting style to make your images stand out from the rest. 

Matthew Jordan Smith has created images for Oprah, Angelina Jolie, Zendaya, Britney Spears, Samuel L. Jackson, and countless others. His work can be seen in museums around the world, including the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the Awagami permanent collection in Tokushima, Japan. He is the only photographer in the world ever commissioned by the International Olympic Committee to create portraits of athletes and live with them during the Olympic games.

“Matthew has an excellent teaching style and explains and demonstrates all of the steps in this course well. Unfortunately not what I was expecting as it is really for beginners. It would be better to have this explained in the course description and the title is misleading. Matthew is such a skilled photographer, there is so much I could learn from him but this course really didn't do it for me. Hard to give these criticisms as he is such a beautiful person.”

“Matthew, thank you for this helpful, thorough, and in-depth lighting course! I am a wedding and portrait photographer, and despite years of training and practice, I still struggle with various aspect of seeing, measuring, and capturing light effectively. I also have difficulty replicating certain artificial/studio lighting in a reliable and consistent way. Your course is exactly what I needed in order to finally (a) understand complex lighting techniques and (b) recognize and set-up more effective lighting in my photography work. I appreciate the depth and quality of information in the various modules of this course and I appreciate how well-done the course is overall. Thank you for not just slapping together a bunch of over-simplified, superficial lighting tips and calling it a course, but instead creating a well-organized and truly comprehensive lighting course that touches on both the basics and on more complex lighting concepts. Your teaching style is relatable and easy for me to follow. Your way of breaking down and explaining even complex/complicated lighting tasks has given me hope that even I - someone who struggles mightily with lighting challenges - can apply the lessons you teach and start getting better and more reliably repeatable results in my work. I am grateful and I hope to see more educational offerings from you in the future!”
