Step into the world of cinematic light with Maxima LED and experience the magic of equine photography under the golden hour glow.
Led by Enrico Ripalti, Creative Director at Cinestudio Italy, this hands-on workshop explores how light, movement, and atmosphere combine to shape powerful visual storytelling.
In collaboration with Spazio Venti and Centro Ippico San Giacomo, participants will learn how to sculpt horses and riders with light — from subtle fill to dramatic backlighting — using Maxima’s cinematic fixtures in real-world conditions.
Discover:
- How to create cinematic depth and texture through volumetric lighting
- Controlled contrasts and practical backlighting setups for dynamic motion

Whether you’re a photographer, cinematographer, or visual creator, this workshop will elevate your ability to capture movement and emotion with light.
