Hello everyone, my name is Shawn Murphy — and welcome to Liquid Light, the light-photography e-course.

In this course, we’re going to explore light in new ways and break it down to its foundations.
By the end, you’ll be able to blend natural beams, ambient glow, artificial light, and slow-shutter atmosphere into cinematic images that feel alive.

I’ve spent the last ten years photographing in some of the most unusual underwater conditions on the planet —
from the Bahamas and the Philippines to Florida and the cenotes of the Yucatán.
Those caves taught me how light bends, scatters, collapses, and becomes visible in darkness.

I’ve condensed everything I learned into this course so you can understand light the same way —
even if you’re practicing at home.

We’ll break down how I blend light sources in the cenotes,
why they’re the perfect environment for studying light in different forms and stages,
and how the same principles work in a forest, an attic, a basement, or your living room.

If you’re a diver, a creator, an explorer, or just someone fascinated by light and photography —
this course is for you.

I’m excited to show you how I see light in the darkness.
Let’s begin.
