I am excited to announce my 8th Edition of the DM workshop in Abuja, Nigeria. Do you want to take the mystery out of using strobe lighting, learn to become a creative force, and THINK LIKE AN ARTIST! Then This Workshop is for you.

The Workshop is an opportunity for all photographers, professional or amateur to take their photography skills to the next level by learning from one of the best in the business.

The three-day intensive workshop will take participants through the tricks of the trade and provide in-depth practical and hands-on photography techniques that can be used to dramatically improve day-to-day creative skills, as well as practical insight for those hoping to enter into the business of photography.

Over the three days, I will have A model on-site for the hands-on lighting demonstration. Each of the attendees will have an opportunity to experiment with the various lighting techniques covered in the lectures, so bring your camera kit!
And not to be overlooked, I will be covering a lot of my editing process from how I color grade my images on Lightroom and process it in Photoshop as seen in my photographs.

Transparency is the ultimate goal for this workshop so I hold back nothing in revealing my photographic process. To finish the workshop off, my last session would be the Business aspect. This is to prepare and encourage photographers to get out and create an income with their craft.
