"Jesse shares so much valuable information and starts right from scratch so regardless of where you are on your photography journey there is a benefit for all."

Two hands-on days learning commercial portrait and product photography, taught by the founders behind Florence James Collective in our Brisbane studio. No gatekeeping, no fluff, just the way we actually shoot, shared openly with you.

23 & 24 July 2026 · 10am to 5pm both days · Florence James Studios, Brisbane · small group · refreshments provided.

What to expect

Across two days you'll watch real shoots come together, then get hands-on yourself. Day one is portrait, with a model in the studio. Day two is product. You'll see every step, from camera settings through to the final look, and get on the strobes and triggers yourself throughout the day.

You'll leave with real lighting confidence, a styling and colour approach you can repeat, and the take-home settings to recreate it all.

What you'll learn

  • Commercial lighting, from a single strobe up to multi-strobe setups
  • How to connect and use strobes and triggers
  • Styling, composition and our colour-grading formula
  • Camera settings, and which gear and modifiers actually change the shot
  • Directing and posing a model with confidence
  • Product photography, from simple to advanced set-ups

What's included

  • Both days, in-person, in a working studio
  • A real shoot, with time for your questions
  • Hands-on time on the gear throughout
  • A small group, so you get real attention
  • A take-home goodie bag
  • A take-home workshop booklet to keep
  • Refreshments and a 30-minute break each day

This weekend ticket covers both days. There's no single-day option, as day two builds on day one.
