In the midst of the everyday rush you spot them sometimes, these pockets of light and life. And there’s a whisper of a voice in your head (or your heart) saying “I wish I could keep this moment, always”.
Well here’s the thing: you can.
This course is for everyone who dreams of being able to create beautifully honest images. It’s for the incredibly busy parent (do not wait until you “have the time for it” – because by then your children will be all grown up), but also for anyone who wants to learn the art of storytelling photography – using only natural light, and whatever camera you have available (including the one on your phone).
I just loved this course! As a beginner and a mum, learning to use natural light & my camera made a world of difference to pictures with my children. The online content was perfect for working around busy weeks and the feedback from Tiril herself was helpful and genuine. The online community from the course also provided me with so many ideas and insights. Exciting, interesting and informative, I would highly recommend grabbing a spot on any upcoming painting with light course!

Som å sitte i en godt brukt, men deilig gyngestol, i ei koselig stue, i et lite hus midt i skogen med kameraet i det ene handa og en kopp te i den andra. Som å sitte i samme rom med deg Tiril. Takk for kunnskapen! En heilt ny verden åpnet seg for meg!
