✓ “My couples look stiff when I pose them… but if I don’t pose them, it’s chaos.”
✓ “My galleries feel inconsistent. Like different photographers shot them.”
✓ “I want cinematic storytelling… but I can’t seem to recreate what I see in my head.”

in case you're wondering, yes this is foR you!
all your q's answered
is Lab 35mm for me?
This is for you if:
- You’ve shot a few weddings or sessions and feel ready for more
- Your images are good—but not consistently wow
- You want a clear system for lighting, direction, and storytelling
- You’re done guessing and ready to create on purpose
Do I actually have time for this?
Yes. The entire course is about 3 hours total, broken into short, easy lessons. Most students finish in 1–2 weeks. You get lifetime access, so this becomes your go-to resource before shoots or weddings whenever you need an inspiration refresh.
What If I'm not technical?
Perfect. I'm not either! This course is intentionally simple and "jargon-free". No overcomplicated jargon. No gear overload. Everything is explained in plain language so you can apply it without crashing out.
What is the refund policy?
Because Lab 35mm gives instant access to all materials, refunds aren’t offered. This keeps the program focused on photographers who are ready to apply the work.
And when implemented, many students earn back their investment quickly.
I don’t want to learn off-camera flash. Do I still need this?
You don’t have to love off-camera flash, but if you want consistency, especially in receptions or challenging lighting, learning how to control light is essential. Our OCF approach is minimal & simple. Most students are surprised by how approachable it is once they see it broken down.
When will I see results?
Immediately in how you think. Quickly in how you shoot.
The real glow-up happens when you apply the framework at your next session or wedding—and it keeps compounding from there.
Trends are OUT.
LUXE PORTFOLIOS ARE IN.
Inside Lab 35mm, you’re going to learn to control light, direct with confidence, and tell a story on purpose—so your work finally looks like the luxury level you want to book. You’ll walk into every scene knowing: I can create this anywhere.
