Jyo, thank you for your class! I love how you are able to see light and shadows and capture them so beautifully. It inspires me for the look for it too :) Thanks for all the effort you put into making this wonderful class. <3
I’m not yet done with this breakout, but have already learned and been so inspired so much by Jyo’s creativity! The shooting and editing videos are a valuable glimpse into her thought process. I really enjoy how she utilizes the same space with different types of light and concepts. There is a wealth of information that I will most likely revisit and I have already signed up for Jyo’s other course offerings now so I can continue to push myself creatively! Thank you, Jyo!
THANK YOU so much! So glad to hear you were inspired!
This class is absolutely amazing! Jyo is such a constant inspiration for me. This class is filled with walk through videos and behind the scenes that really let you into her artistic vision and help you to see the light and shadows for yourself!! Such a great class.

This course has been amazing! I cannot believe how many aha moments I had watching Jyo’s shooting and editing videos. It helped me so much to hear her thought process in real time while she was shooting and editing. Thank you, Jyo, for being such an amazing teacher and a creative inspiration. I’m really excited to use your techniques in my own work!
THANK YOU so much! So glad to hear that!
In this, one of the best classes I’ve taken, Jyo takes a comprehensive look at different types of light and how to work with them to produce beautiful and original images. So much thought has gone into these videos and I found them absolutely jam-packed with ideas for creative shooting and for challenging myself in terms of light use. I’ve been shooting now for many years and can’t recommend this class highly enough not only for the new shooter, but also for the advanced photographer aiming to push themselves further in terms of creativity.
Ahh that means so much! Thank you soo much!

This breakout includes so much more than shadows and light – Jyo talks about the emotion, and paying attention to how the choices you make with shadows and light along with other elements in the composition impact emotion, so that you are better equipped to tell the story you want to in the frame. I really appreciate the behind the scenes and hearing her discuss her own work in the videos.
Thankyou so much!! So glad you loved the videos!
