30 Days of Light · Guided Cohort
Learn to see—and work with—light.
30 days. Three Thursday evenings with Carol.
A small-group journey to seeing, shaping, and creating with light, using 30 Days of Light as your guide. Short prompts on your own, live conversation together, and a gentle place to ask the questions you have been wondering about.
- Live on Zoom
- Sessions recorded
- Book PDF included
- Beginner to intermediate
Bring a DSLR or mirrorless camera that lets you change basic settings—gear is not the focus.
The book gives you the daily practice.
The cohort gives it a rhythm.
The cohort turns the daily prompts of 30 Days of Light into a supportive, creative journey. You complete short exercises on your own, then meet on Thursday evenings to share images, ask questions, and explore how light shapes mood, emotion, and storytelling.
It is not a gear comparison, a jargon-filled lecture, or a competition. It is a place to practice, with other people who are practicing too.
A judgment-free space for questions and works in progress.
Here is what the cohort is, plainly.
The 30 Days of Light Guided Cohort is a small-group, live online experience built around the book. Three Thursday evening gatherings on Zoom, 6:00–7:30 p.m. Central: June 3, June 10, and June 17, 2027. Carol leads every session. You work through short prompts from 30 Days of Light on your own time, then bring what you noticed to the group. Each session is recorded and available to participants for downloading. A PDF of the book is included with your enrollment; a paperback is optional and sold separately on Amazon. The cohort is $197.
What you can expect
Plain language, honest questions, and room to practice
You do not need to keep up with a syllabus. You need enough curiosity to look at light a little differently.
02
A small group
The group is kept small so discussion stays practical and personal, and there is time for everyone who wants to take part.
03
Gentle, encouraging feedback
Share a few favorite images, ask what you are wondering, and hear what is working. Shy participants are welcome to watch first.
How it works
Three evenings. One shared practice.
Between sessions, you work through prompts from 30 Days of Light on your own. On each Thursday, you bring what you noticed to the group.

From the book 30 Days of Light
Your guide
Carol Fox Henrichs
Carol is a fine art nature photographer, longtime educator, and author of 30 Days of Light, a 30-day practice for learning to see and work with light.
She teaches in plain language, without the jargon, and makes room for honest questions. In this cohort she is there to guide the practice and help you see more of what is already in front of you.
A few things worth saying directly
Some honest answers to what you might be wondering.
“Is this a technical, gear-focused workshop?”
No. It is not a gear comparison, and it will not be a dense session full of jargon, acronyms, or charts. The focus is on light and on seeing, explained in plain language.
“What if I do not finish the prompts?”
That is fine. There is no quiz, no grading, and no required completion. The prompts are there to build a habit, not to add pressure. Come with whatever you have.
“I am nervous about sharing my photographs.”
Sharing is welcome but never required. You can share a few favorites, ask questions, or watch first until you feel comfortable. The group is a supportive, non-competitive space.
