One Light. Clean Skin. Magazine Results.
LEARN THE SAME LIGHTING I'VE USED IN SKINCARE ADS AND FASHION MAGAZINE EDITORIALS
Something about your beauty work isn't landing the way you want it to. The skin looks flat. The light feels generic.
You just want to close the gap between what you see in your work and a beauty campaign. It's the light.
And knowing how to control it changes everything. Let me show you what I've done for national ads and magazine editorials.
These are tactics that I use in my own photography campaigns.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
This is not a theory class. This is a working professional walking you through exactly how he lights clean beauty in 55 minutes across three focused videos.

WHO THIS IS FOR
Beauty and skincare photographers (and video) who want to get more of the following types of jobs: Skincare, beauty, nails and jewelry ads.
If you do fashion-photography, I will show how to make slight adjustments and turn this setup into something more editorial.
Finally, if you are a documentary filmmaker who wants to have polished Netflix-styled interviews, this will set you up!
Or if you point a camera at a human face, this quick course makes your work better.

Hi, I'm Walid
Walid Azami
Photographer | Director | Creative Director
I built my entire career by knowing exactly who how to light my subjects and who I was shooting for. Here's what that unlocked.
I’ve photographed covers for Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone, photographed #1 albums for Ciara, Usher, Tiziano Ferro, and Tamar Braxton, worked inside Madonna’s camp, and directed music videos for Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, etc.
I’ve also popped up on Braxton Family Values, Make Me a Supermodel, and in a Super Bowl commercial opposite Mary J. Blige (as myself).
I’ve lived at every level of this industry, and I know what actually works. That's why I created my educational series. It was to hand you the roadmap, the pricing strategies, the client know-how, and the creative confidence I wish I’d had sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have questions, see below! If you have additional questions, please send a DM via Instagram. I'm happy to answer.
How long is the course/workshop?
The course is under 2 hours, strategically designed to teach without fluff. However, I recommend you view it a few times to get all the teachings.
What prior experience is needed?
None! I'm excited to say that you could be a complete beginner or someone who is more advanced. Beauty lighting is beauty lighting, and whether you're advanced or new - this will help you grow!
How long will I have access?
You will have lifelong access as long as the course exists.
How is this different than VBA?
Think of QuickSTEP as a surgical strike. It is a single-focused workshop designed to solve one specific problem (lighting, pricing, ideal client avatar) in a couple of hours.
VBA is my full-scale mentorship program. It is a comprehensive business transformation that includes my entire library of courses, weekly coaching calls, personalized feedback by me and the community, office hours, 2 workshops a month, a library of templates and more.
Will I get personalized support and feedback?
To keep these workshops fast and affordable, they do not include 1-on-1 feedback. QuickSTEPS are designed for independent, high-speed implementation. If you are looking for direct mentorship and continuous feedback from me (and a private community), you'll find that inside the Visual Business Academy (VBA).
What are the QuickStep Series Workshops?
The QuickStep Series is a collection of short, powerful workshops derived from our exclusive private mentorship community, now available as one-off purchases.
Is there a refund policy?
Due to the digital nature and immediate access to exclusive content, all purchases are final.
How do I access the coaching materials?
You will have a portal with a unique username/password to log in and watch, and rewatch as many times as you wish.
