Workshop Series (PPA Merit Program) | Scott Holleman: The Magic of Modifiers

2315 Commerce St.

Houston, TX 77002

Ready to take control of light anywhere and anytime? Drawing from his background in technical theater, Scott will break down how to shape, control, and transform light using a wide range of modifiers, from reflectors and umbrellas to snoots, grids, barn doors, and the Manfrotto HiLite. You’ll see how these tools work in real-world scenarios, with demonstrations ranging from simple one-light setups to more complex four-light arrangements.

In this hands-on program, you’ll explore how to:

  • Create beautiful “window light” without a window

  • Use a snoot creatively as both a main light and fill

  • Know when (and why) to use grids

  • Choose between reflective vs. shoot-through umbrellas

  • Incorporate reflectors effectively

  • Apply these lighting techniques on location


What to bring:

  • notetaking materials

  • camera, preferred lens, & if available, Godox/Flashpoint trigger

  • sack lunch

All skill levels welcome. Registration limited to 10 participants.

Please note: We are unable to accept registration payments at the workshop. Unpaid registrations will be canceled.

PPGH or PPA member: $95
