Neon Photography Workshop w/ Ty Harper

Step into the glow and elevate your night photography game!

Join us for an unforgettable evening with the insanely talented Ty Harper ( https://www.instagram.com/ty.harper , http://tyharperphotography.com)as he teaches you how to capture cinematic, neon-drenched portraits that stop the scroll and light up your portfolio.

We’ll kick off with a high-impact creative presentation where you'll learn the essentials of shooting in low light — from mastering composition and color storytelling to working with prisms, props, and urban locations. Then, watch Ty in action during a live demo shoot with professional models and neon setups before diving into a hands-on editing breakdown where you'll unlock the secrets of making your images truly pop.

Finally, it’s your turn to create: shoot your own bangers with live models, props, and all the neon goodness, while vibing with fellow photographers at our Creative Mixer.

You’ll walk away with:

• 🔥 Killer portfolio shots
• 🎨 New editing skills (Lightroom, Photoshop tricks, and more)
• 📸 Pro techniques for storytelling with light, shadow, and color
• 🤝 A creative network of fellow badass photographers

This is more than a workshop — it’s a full creative experience designed to help you sharpen your vision, expand your skills, and have a hell of a lot of fun doing it.
All skill levels welcome. Come ready to create, connect, and level up.
