Welcome to Shape with Light.

I’m Fred Windholz, photographer & lighting enthusiast with over 35 years of experience.

Why am I passionate about lighting?

I believe that the key to exceptional images is understanding and applying the fundamentals of light. Shaping with light is about being in control of light and shadow and the transition between the two. I help photographers understand the basics of light so that they can take their photography to the next level.
