1-on-1 Workshops
Learn exactly what you want to learn, one-on-one with Jeff in his studio just outside Nashville. No set agenda, no waiting your turn, just you, a model, and the lights.
Your workshop, your goals
The benefit of a 1-on-1 workshop is the ability to focus on specific skills you might not get to dig into at a larger group workshop.
Whether you want to learn a specific lighting technique or hone your retouching skills, anything you want to learn is on the table. Most sessions revolve around lighting: we'll cover the fundamentals and expand on them to fit your style of photography.
- Shoot with a professional model the whole session
- Work through real setups from one light to multi-light
- Tethering, Capture One workflow, and retouching on request
- Join the NEXT LEVEL community afterward for ongoing questions

A few images from Jeff's own work. Every one starts with the same fundamentals you'll learn.
“Jeff's approach is very client centered, he was super personable and a great host. He tailored the workshop to fit my needs as a photographer and was very flexible to let the workshop unfold without a set agenda. I was able to get tons of hands-on time with the model and was able to come home with many tremendous images to add to my portfolio.”
