In this hands-on workshop, Jamaira Centeno demonstrates how to create cinematic product visuals using a simple three-light setup. Working with continuous lighting and spotlight projection, attendees will learn to shape light, control shadow, and create depth that transforms everyday products into compelling brand imagery. Built for real-world use, this session focuses on intentional lighting decisions, efficient setups, and techniques that translate directly to commercial work, social content, and modern brand storytelling.
We’ll begin with a welcome and introduction, followed by a look into Jamaira’s creative process, including her approach to pre-production through mood boards, shot lists, and storyboarding. From there, she’ll walk through product styling and build out a foundational lighting setup, leading into a camera overview and first test shot. Attendees will then work together in small groups to capture a selection of images from the shot list, refining lighting along the way and contributing to the final set. We’ll wrap up with a walkthrough of the editing process, followed by an open Q&A and a short closing.
