“I don’t often write reviews, but after reading Nicole’s Magical Light ebook, I’m ready to put pen to paper (or fingers to keys)! This book is everything you need, as someone new(ish) to studio light, I learned so much valuable information right off the bat. Nicole has the most ethereal work, and now I’m excited to know her secrets!
I will be recommending her to literally everyone. Her setups and explanations are seamless and her diagrams beyond helpful. Beginner, newbie or pro, I feel that everyone can benefit from this book. Do yourself a favour and pick it up, you won’t regret it!!”

“As I familiarize myself and get more comfortable with lighting I find myself using the same setups over and over again. ‘Magical Light by Nicole York’ just opened my eyes to so many new possibilities of creating stories with light. I’m so excited to experiment with these lighting setups for all of my photography ventures; even maternity portraiture! I have a few lighting tutorials from some amazing photographers and one thing I notice that’s usually missing is the light power settings and technical data. While Nicole doesn’t address those specifically, the in-depth diagrams present all that and includes the camera settings. All around, this is one of the best lighting tutorials on the market and for a steal of a price. If you’re looking to spice up your lighting game or learn how to tell a story with light, this is the e-book for you! 11/10 would recommend!
