Those results aren’t accidental.

They’re the outcome of understanding how to see and use light with intention.

That’s exactly why I created KJ’s Lighting Lookbook—a completely free, visual guide that reveals what different types of natural light actually look like in real photo sessions. If you’ve ever struggled to understand how light works or why your images feel “off,” this is the perfect first step to unlocking that clarity!!

This Isn’t a Tutorial. It’s a Visual Shift.

Before you can control light, you have to learn how to see it. 

The Lighting Lookbook doesn’t teach you how to create every lighting scenario—it shows you what’s possible when you start paying attention to the light already around you.

Inside the Lookbook, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at 10 real images, each paired with notes about the natural light sources that shaped them. 

You’ll discover that every photo you admire likely came from a very specific lighting decision.

Here’s the question most photographers don’t even think to ask:

Do you know the 13 different types of natural light that could show up during your shoot?

Yep, There Are 13! Here’s a Peek at What You’ll See:

• Diffused Backlighting
  
• Harsh Direct Lighting
  
• Soft Direct Backlighting
  
• Overcast Lighting
  
• Secondary Lighting
  
• Reflective Secondary Light
  
• Partial Reflective Light
  
• Side-Secondary Light
  
• Partial Secondary Light
  
• Wide Open Secondary Lighting
  
• Diffused Indirect Side Light
  
• Direct (Harsh) Backlighting
  
• Secondary Light with Slight Reflectors

Most photographers can maybe name three or four. But understanding all 13? That’s what sets confident, consistent photographers apart.

In each example, you’ll see how the light style was used to either soften the image, enhance the subject, or overcome a challenging location. 

No gear changes. Just light awareness!!

Why This Matters for Your Growth

This guide is perfect if you’re:

• Unsure how to find “good” light
• Wondering why your photos look flat or inconsistent
• Stuck in the cycle of blaming your gear instead of mastering your skill
• Wanting to build a signature style that looks polished across different locations

And here’s the truth: You don’t need a better camera. You need a better understanding of how to use the light that’s already available to you.
