In these days of E-Commerce, the product shot on white is so common that we sometimes forget we can have fun with still life shots.

Less is more. Join Mark Mann at Adorama for a live demonstration on how to wring every ounce of emotion out of a single light.

Using the Leica SL, Mark will show you how to build a lighting setup from scratch—starting with one key light, adding fill for softness, and using negative fill to cut the light and add cinematic drama. Whether you are a studio pro or looking to refine your portraiture, come see how Mark sculpts light to create his signature look.

This demo is centered on creating simple, story-driven portraits with a strong emphasis on color. We’ll focus on how light and color become part of the narrative, not just illumination. Through subtle direction, intentional palettes, and restrained use of gels, we’ll build portraits that feel cinematic, emotional, and quietly charged.

Rather than complex setups, this session is about learning how to see light and color together. How a single rim can suggest tension. How a wash of color can shift mood. How background, wardrobe, and expression become part of the story when light is used with purpose.

We’ll walk through:

• Building depth and atmosphere with 1–4 lights
• Using color and gels to create emotional tone, not novelty
• Creating narrative portraits with minimal gear
• Translating concept into visual language
