Light Lovers Unite!

I’m Crystal Kuegel, a fine art photographer and MFA student at the Academy of Art University, and I created CK Images Creator Academy to help you bring your ideas to life through light and technology.

Inside the academy, you’ll find two core experiences.

I created the light painting course where you will have light painting photos in 5 days! teaches you how to create images using long exposure, simple tools, and intentional camera settings. You don’t need expensive gear, just a DSLR and $8 Led lights from amazon.

My Mastering Freepik AI class in 10 days course is designed to help you step into the world of AI creation with confidence. You’ll learn how to generate visuals, animate ideas, and turn your imagination into finished pieces using accessible tools and clear, guided techniques.

This space is about exploration, creativity, and learning how to see differently. Whether you’re just starting or expanding your skills, you’re invited to create, experiment, and grow.
