A year after my one-on-one mentor session with Jai Mayhew, I had the opportunity to participate in a group workshop led by her, further refining my approach to studio lighting and editorial photography. The workshop provided an immersive, hands-on experience where each participant took turns directing and photographing the model in a beautifully styled setting. Under Jai’s expert guidance, I explored new techniques, deepened my understanding of lighting, and gained fresh creative inspiration. These images represent not only the workshop’s collaborative energy but also my evolving vision as a photographer.
