Your lighting is one of the fastest ways people begin to recognize your work. In this live lighting demonstration, Chloe Ramirez breaks down how she developed a lighting style that feels emotionally driven, visually distinct, and adaptable across different types of shoots and environments.

Through live demonstrations and real world setups, students will watch Chloe build several of her signature lighting looks while explaining the creative and technical decisions behind each one. From shaping dramatic editorial portraits to creating softer, connection driven imagery, this class focuses on how light can become part of your artistic voice rather than just a technical tool.

Students will learn how modifier choice, light placement, shadow, ambient balance, and subtle shifts in direction can dramatically change the feeling of an image. Chloe will also discuss how to create consistency across your work so your lighting begins to feel recognizable and intentional no matter the subject or location.

This class is designed for photographers who want to stop relying on random setups and start building a lighting approach that feels personal, expressive, and true to the kind of work they want to be known for.

The most memorable shoots do not happen by accident. They are built through strong ideas, thoughtful planning, and creative direction that starts long before the camera ever comes out. In this class, Chloe Ramirez takes students behind the scenes of her creative process and breaks down how she develops editorial inspired shoots from the first spark of inspiration all the way through execution on set.

Students will get an inside look at how Chloe pulls inspiration from fashion, music, film, color, texture, emotion, and culture to develop concepts that feel visually cohesive and creatively distinct. From building moodboards and refining ideas to location scouting, styling direction, casting, props, and shot planning, this class focuses on how to create shoots that feel fully realized instead of thrown together at the last minute.

Chloe will also discuss how to push past creative blocks, avoid recreating work that already exists online, and develop concepts that feel more personal and aligned with your own artistic voice. Attendees will learn how to take loose inspiration and translate it into a shoot with a clear visual identity, emotional tone, and stronger storytelling.

This class is designed for photographers who want to create more intentional work, strengthen their creative direction skills, and walk into shoots with a clearer vision and more confidence. Whether you are building portfolio work, editorial shoots, branding sessions, or personal projects, students will leave with practical tools for bringing ideas to life in a way that feels elevated, immersive, and creatively fulfilling.

Great portraits are not just about the subject. They are about the details that shape the entire frame. In this interactive class, Chloe Ramirez breaks down how wardrobe, color, texture, layering, and props can completely transform the mood and visual impact of an image.

Through live demonstrations and hands on creative exercises, students will watch Chloe build and refine editorial inspired scenes in real time while exploring how small styling choices can dramatically change the feeling of a photograph. Attendees will also participate in interactive styling challenges designed to strengthen their creative eye and help them think more intentionally about what belongs inside the frame.

From selecting wardrobe with movement and depth to combining textures, tones, accessories, and props that create atmosphere, this class focuses on building images that feel immersive, layered, and visually alive. Chloe will demonstrate how to create cohesion without overstyling and how to make portraits feel elevated and emotionally charged even with simple locations or limited resources.

Students will learn how to approach styling with stronger creative direction, how to make more confident visual decisions on set, and how to use color, texture, and detail to create imagery that feels more editorial and recognizable. Whether photographing couples, portraits, branding sessions, or personal work, attendees will leave with practical tools for creating stronger visual storytelling and more compelling imagery from the moment they step onto set.
