You don't have to invest thousands in advanced lighting equipment and haul hundreds of pounds of gear to create beautiful photographs. This exciting workshop will teach you how to make great light with a small flash, or strobe!

We'll start with exposure basics, then jump right into the technical and artistic options a camera flash adds. The first half of class includes lots of presentation examples on-screen. In the second half, the instructor will be shooting photos in class and displaying them on the big screen to show what happens and how.

This class covers using a removable camera flash, not the pop-up kind. You do not need to bring cameras or flash to class, but you are welcome to.


This workshop will cover:

Compensation & power control
Color correction
Diffusion
Direction & bouncing
Off-camera options (TTL or manual)
Ambient fill
Zooming & snooting
Panning, motion and sync speed
Front and rear curtain sync
Using multiple pops (more than one flash from your one flash!)
The 'inverse square' rule and what it means for your flash
Guide Number...what it means for buying and using a flash
