Beginners Guide to Mixed Lighting Situations

Lighting doesn’t always play by the rules—and that’s exactly what makes it interesting. Mixing different types of light sources—like natural sunlight, flash, continuous light, and ambient room light—can be one of the most challenging aspects of photography. It’s also one of the most rewarding when done right.

Whether you’re shooting on location or indoors, learning how to balance and shape multiple light sources will elevate your work and give you creative control in any environment. Some days it might feel like the sun, the shadows, and your flash are all fighting each other. On April 8th, we’ll tackle that challenge head-on.

Join us at Will Rogers Park for a hands-on session focused on how to see light, control it, and combine it—even when it seems impossible. We’ll cover how to match color temperatures, shape light with modifiers, and use flash with natural light for consistent, professional-looking results.

Bring your camera and a flash (on- or off-camera), and get ready to experiment, problem-solve, and gain confidence with mixed lighting setups. Whether you’re new to artificial light or looking to fine-tune your skills, this class will help you take control of the scene—not the other way around.
