Let’s be real … not every wedding or quince shoot happens in perfect light or a Pinterest-worthy location. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still deliver epic shots. In this live demo, I’ll show you the exact formula ( Composition + Posing + Lighting= EPIC ) I use every day to create standout images in tough, unpredictable conditions. Whether it’s a dark venue, a weirdly lit hotel hallway, or the most unexpected place , this is how I build my shots and make them EPIC!

You’ll see me work in real time, talking through what I’m seeing, how I adjust, and why this formula works anywhere.

You’ll Learn:
– How to build a killer shot anywhere
– How I pose real clients (not models) with confidence
– How to get strong light with minimal gear
This is how I shoot EPIC on demand. You can too.

For his first five years, Rafael unknowingly left nearly a quarter million dollars on the table — not from lack of effort, but from missing the easiest money in photography: past clients and their networks. Once he built a system, those same clients started booking him for weddings, quinceañeras, maternity, newborn, family portraits, seniors, engagements, and even their kids’ milestone events.

This class shows beginners how to set up a client experience from the start that keeps people coming back — and teaches advanced photographers how to boost income without adding more weekends of event work. You’ll learn to stay in clients’ lives, keep them excited on social media, tap into their personal and professional networks, and create systems that run these strategies for you — without adding crazy effort to your week.

You’ll learn how to:
-Rebook past clients more easily than finding new ones.
-Turn one booking into years of repeat revenue.
-Stay relevant between milestones.
-Unlock work through clients’ personal & corporate networks.
-Keep them talking about you online.
-Build systems to keep it all running smoothly in the background.

Walk away with a proven plan to turn your current client list into your most profitable asset — in any economy.

This is a working shoot, not a lecture. You’ll be photographing right alongside me with real quinceañera models in locations set up for this class. I’ll walk you through my composition + posing + lighting formula step-by-step, but the focus is on you getting the shots for your own portfolio.

We’ll work together to find the right angles, direct the model, and adjust lighting so you can create images that look polished, professional, and ready to show to clients. I’ll be there to answer questions and help you troubleshoot so you leave confident you can do it again on your own.

You’ll leave this class with:
-A set of strong quinceañera images you can start using in your portfolio right away.
-Practical posing and directing techniques that work in real-world situations.
-Lighting setups you can recreate without needing a truckload of gear.
-A better understanding of how to make your quince shoots stand out from the crowd.

If you’ve been wanting to expand into quinceañera photography or just sharpen your skills, this is your chance to do it with guidance, feedback, and images you can be proud of.
