Workshops – Rick Friedman Photography

Rick’s dynamic, intensive, interactive workshop are designed for portrait photographers, photojournalists, corporate and event photographers, wedding photographers, and serious amateurs who want to improve their knowledge of lighting. 

To learn about portable lighting techniques that have enabled Rick Friedman to capture his on location, award-winning imagery around the world, sign up and join in for one of his upcoming workshops. If you attend Rick's class, you can plan on leaving feeling empowered to capture great images no matter what lighting situation you come up against!  

Rick is available to speak to your photo group or club, in person for a lecture or an entire hands on workshop or for a remote presentation.

Private lessons available. We will bring the model and the equipment to your location or you can come to our studio in Boston’s historic South End.
