Curriculum designed for real life

Know Your Gear

Ever feel like your camera is speaking a different language? Our intensive Camera Basics training breaks down shutter speed, aperture, and ISO into terms you'll actually understand.

Editing Fundamentals

Lightroom and Photoshop don't have to be intimidating. We'll show you how to enhance your raw shots without making them look "over-processed."

The Manual Mastery

From Auto to Manual in just 4 weeks. This core course is the backbone of Lumina Lens, focusing on practical application in real-world lighting scenarios.

Weekend Street Walks in Brooklyn

Why sit in a classroom when NYC is your studio? Join our signature workshops where we hit the pavement to practice composition and street storytelling in real-time. You'll learn more in three hours on the street than three days of reading manuals.
