Beyond the Lens: Fashion and the Magic of Creative Lighting & Styling
Step into a world of bold color, creative lighting, and fashion photography with Niah Aldrich. In this live, interactive keynote, Niah pulls back the curtain on her creative process, where light, color, and styling collide to tell a visual story.
Watch as she transforms one outfit into three completely different looks using nothing but lighting, gels, and creative styling choices. From lens selection to modifier magic, you’ll see how each decision brings a concept to life in real time.
Expect an energetic, hands-on session full of color, creativity, and inspiration. You’ll walk away thinking differently about light, styling, and what’s possible in your next shoot. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, this session will spark your imagination and expand your creative toolkit. Be ready to engage, ask questions, and be inspired to create your own magic.
