What Felix teaches isn’t theory — it’s fluency. Lighting that works anywhere, with anyone, on any shoot. Lighting for EVERYONE.
Welcome to Lighting for Everyone! Felix sets the stage for the course by showing you orienting you to the real goal, making beautiful soft light anywhere - and he does it by using inspiration from natural light. The mindset shift starts here!
Ever feel confused by shutter speed, flash sync, or why your images sometimes go dark or weirdly lit? This module clears it all up. Felix explains how your camera’s shutter works with your light source—without technical overwhelm. You’ll finally understand how to control your ambient light and get consistent results.
This is the setup that can launch an entire career. Felix teaches you his foundational one-light approach, using just a modifier and any bounce surface. You’ll learn how to get soft, flattering, dynamic light—and why this system gives you total control over shadows, contrast, and mood.
No giant studio? No problem. In this module, Felix shows you why small spaces actually make lighting easier. You’ll see how walls, low ceilings, and even narrow rooms can become your allies, bouncing and shaping light in beautiful ways. Whether you’re in a living room, garage, or hallway—you’ve got options.
Want that glowing, ethereal look? This is your module. Felix walks you through how to use backlight to create dreamy, airy portraits without washing everything out. You’ll learn how to control the direction and bounce of light so your subject still looks sculpted and sharp. Your subjects will thank you!
No more gatekeeping - Here’s where we build light that flatters everyone. Felix introduces his groundbreaking yet simple “wrap-around” concept—shaping light so it wraps softly around the face while still maintaining depth. This is the key to getting your images to look natural in the studio.
You’ve learned the concept - now it’s time to apply it. In this module, Felix explores real-world scenarios using the wrap-around technique. You’ll see how to tweak your setup for different subjects, poses, and vibes, while maintaining the same flattering, flexible light quality.
This is where it starts to look fancy—but stays simple. Felix builds seamlessly on the wrap-around foundation by layering multiple lights.
You’ll learn how to light with multiple lights, while retaining a natural look. This segment alone will build your entire career.
Problem-solving time! Felix tackles two of the most common headshot headaches: glare on glasses and overly shiny skin. You’ll get practical tips for flattering lighting, posing, and easy to implement tips to make every client feel confident and look polished—without endless retouching.
Lighting one person is one thing—lighting three, five, or more is another. Felix simplifies group lighting with smart setups that keep everyone well-lit, no matter their position or height. If you thought Lighting Groups is hard, this segment will blow your mind. Lighting groups is simple once you understand this very reliable approach.
In this special Bonus segment, Felix shows you how to build on the ‘cut the hard part’ concept explored in earlier segments to create a completely different look for your clients. Something that wouldn’t be out of place in a fashion editorial, a branding shoot or even a commercial job.
Real shoots aren’t perfect. Rooms are tight. Ceilings are low. Time is short. Felix shows you how to light beautifully anyway. This is the course that makes it all click.
Felix Kunze changed the lighting game in 2017. Now he’s back—with a fresh, modern masterclass for photographers who shoot anywhere.
"Felix's teaching is just as good as his photography. He brought me from hobbyist to pro level work almost instantly!"
