Shooting in low light can be tricky, but that’s exactly what makes this workshop so rewarding. You’ll learn how to balance ambient light with your camera settings to create stunning images without losing detail in the shadows or blowing out the highlights.

We’ll cover composition tips for night photography, how to manage exposure in glowing environments, and how to create those dreamy starburst effects from twinkling lights. By the end, you’ll have the confidence to handle any nighttime photography challenge.

For those who want to take their creativity up a notch, we’ll introduce a few fun techniques to add cinematic flair to your shots. From light painting to motion blur effects, you’ll see how easy it is to make your images stand out with just a few creative adjustments. These techniques are simple to learn and open up endless possibilities for playful, artistic holiday photos.

And because no holiday photo session is complete without people, we’ll also show you how to use your flash effectively in this environment. You’ll learn how to keep your subjects well-lit while still capturing the warm glow of the lights around them. Whether you’re photographing friends, family, or couples, you’ll come away knowing how to create portraits that feel alive with the festive spirit of downtown SLC. By the end of the evening, you’ll have both new skills and a gallery of holiday photos you’ll be proud to share.
