A PHOTOGRAPHY MASTERCLASS

A Portrait Lighting + Retouching Masterclass with Aham Ibeleme

22nd – 24th September, 2025

Learn with Aham Ibeleme in Lagos, this September 2025

I am excited to announce my 17th workshop in Lagos, Nigeria. This workshop is a must for those who want to take the mystery out of using strobe lighting, learn to become a creative force, and THINK LIKE AN ARTIST!

The Workshop is an opportunity for all photographers, professional or amateur to hone their photography skills by learning from one of the best in the business.

The three-day intensive workshop will take participants through the tricks of the trade and provide in-depth practical and hands-on photography techniques that can be used to dramatically improve day-to-day creative skills, as well as practical insight for those hoping to enter into the business of photography.

Over the three days, I will have a model on-site for the hands-on lighting demonstration. Each of the attendees will have an opportunity to experiment with the various lighting techniques covered in the lectures, so bring your camera kit! And not to be overlooked, I will be covering a lot of my personal Photoshop techniques used in my photographs. I hold back nothing in revealing my photographic process. To finish the workshop off, my last session “Thriving in the Marketplace”, is designed to prepare and encourage photographers to get out and create an income with their craft.

With my guidance, learn how to shoot and edit photographs for portraiture and beauty, get involved in interactive knowledge exchange sessions with other participants, and most importantly, have loads of fun.
