Drag it. That gap is the whole course.

Advanced lighting and editing for photographers who already shoot.

Four weeks. Eight evenings. Two things that separate a working photographer from an expensive one — light you command on purpose, and colour that holds on dark skin.

Apply — send 5 images See the pricing

Why you're here

You can shoot. That was never the problem.

You make a good picture when the light is kind — and you're guessing when it isn't.

You've watched the tutorials. Every one of them was built on skin that isn't your client's, in rooms that aren't Lagos rooms. So the numbers never quite land, the reds go plastic, and the file you deliver is never the file you saw in your head.

Nobody sells the fix, because the fix isn't information. It's reps, under correction, in a real room, on your own files.

That's the Lab. No beginners in the room, no camera basics, no one asking what aperture means.

Two modules

Take one. Take both. Never a single session.

Four sessions is the smallest unit, because two evenings can't build a habit.

Module 01 · Weeks 1–2

The Light Lab

Stop hoping the light works. Build it, on purpose, in whatever room you're handed.

  1. One light, done properlyQuality, distance, angle, fall-off. Everything you own is a modifier once you understand why.
  2. Ratios and multi-lightFill, rim, background separation. One light to four without the picture falling apart.
  3. Bad roomsMixed light, low ceilings, flash against ambient, gels, high-speed sync. The Lagos reality.
  4. Reproduction drillThree reference looks, rebuilt from nothing, on the clock. This is the session that tells you if it stuck.
₦150,000 4 sessions · 2 weeks
6 photographers maximum

Module 02 · Weeks 3–4

The Edit Room

A look that's yours, repeatable at volume, on skin the tutorials never accounted for.

  1. Ingest, cull, RAW baselineCatalogue discipline and batch workflow. How 800 frames stop being a weekend.
  2. Colour and skin in Nigerian lightThe session nobody else in Lagos is teaching. Rich dark skin, harsh sun, mixed indoor light — and why imported presets break on all three.
  3. Retouch at speedFrequency separation, dodge and burn, and the restraint to stop before the client looks like plastic.
  4. DeliveryExport, galleries, consistency across a set — and you leave with a preset built from your own catalogue.

This is the wrong room for you if…

  • You've never been paid to take a photograph.
  • You're still learning what aperture and shutter speed do.
  • You want a certificate more than you want a portfolio.
  • You can't clear a Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.

None of that is a problem — it's just a different door. Start with the 12-week Professional course, then come back here when you're shooting for money.

Who's in the room

Losgiddy teaches the Lab. Every session.

Thirteen years shooting commercially in Lagos, and set design alongside it — which is why the lighting sessions are about building a scene, not memorising a diagram.

The Lab isn't handed to an assistant. You're paying for correction from someone whose own work is on the wall, and that's the entire product.

Not your best five. Your last five paid jobs.

I look at the actual work, tell you honestly whether the Lab is the right room, and which module you need first. If it isn't the right room, I'll say so.

Questions

Before you send the images

How is this different from the 12-week Professional course?
Completely different room and a different person in it. The 12-week course takes someone from no camera knowledge to a working portfolio. The Lab assumes all of that and skips it — it exists for photographers already earning who've hit a ceiling on light and colour. If you're not being paid to shoot yet, the Professional course is your starting point.
Can I do only the editing module?
Yes. The Edit Room runs standalone at ₦150,000 for four sessions across weeks three and four of every month. Most people end up taking both, because lighting badly is what creates most of the editing problem in the first place — but you're not obliged to.
Can I book a single session instead of the full module?
No. Four sessions is the smallest unit we sell. Two evenings can't change how you work, and a room booked session-by-session can't be run properly for the people who committed to the whole module.
When does the next intake start?
Within a fortnight, always. The Light Lab restarts in week one of every month and the Edit Room in week three, so there are two entry points every month and the Lab never closes for a cohort. Message us and we'll give you the exact next date.
Do I need my own camera and lights?
No — the studio at 43 Maye Street is fully equipped, and everything you need is provided. Most photographers bring their own body anyway, and that's encouraged: what you learn transfers to Monday morning faster when you learned it on your own gear.
Will it clash with my shooting schedule?
It runs Tuesday and Thursday, 4–6pm, for four weeks — so your weekends stay free for paid work and you're home before the night traffic. It does mean keeping those two afternoons clear, so if your week can't take that, the private one-to-one track is scheduled entirely around your calendar.
What does "colour and skin in Nigerian light" actually mean?
Nearly every editing tutorial available online was built and calibrated on lighter skin, in temperate light. The advice fails quietly on rich dark skin under harsh Lagos sun or mixed indoor lighting — reds go plastic, shadows go grey, and imported presets fall apart. We teach the colour science for the skin and the light you actually shoot in, and you leave with a preset built from your own catalogue.
Is there a payment plan?
Yes, depending on which module you're taking. Message us on WhatsApp and we'll set out the exact split.
Where is it?
43 Maye Street, Yaba, Lagos — five minutes from the University of Lagos main gate.
