How it's taught
Live, it’s a workshop. Self-paced, it’s yours.
The self-paced version turns each of these into a short exercise you do on your own.
Find the light
Using a sample floor plan and compass direction, teams decide the best time of day for the interiors, the exterior and the view, then defend the call.
Stage for the lens
Teams get before photos of real rooms and mark every item to remove, move or add. Fastest complete reset wins bragging rights.
Brief battle
Pairs write a one-page vendor brief for the same home and trade them. The partner plays the photographer and asks every question the brief failed to answer.
