TTL Flash Photography workshop ~ Lower Mainland
“Flash photography can be very creative, when you know how to use the power of your flash or strobe.”
This is usually my opening sentence for Flash Photography and studio lighting workshops.
Most of us don’t take many pictures during winter time. Why is that? Is it because it is cold and wet? Yes that’s partially true. But usually it is because there is not enough daylight. Now imagine you can have daylight under your control not only to use at any given time but also are able to control the amount of light that you need.
We’re excited to offer a comprehensive solution to shooting in the shorter daylight winter season.
Just a quick note that the workshop starts on March 8 and few spots are available. So book your ticket today!
Flash photography & Studio Lighting
During this three part (12 hours total) workshop you will learn skills for using flash to make better pictures, overcome ambient light, create special effects, off camera flash techniques and more. This workshop is for advanced photographers using digital SLR/Mirror-less cameras with external flash. Participants are required to bring a digital camera, fully charged battery/batteries, external flash/flashes, and memory card(s).
I- Flash techniques and understanding the light (4 hours in classroom)
We’ll explore technical lessons on TTL and Non-TTL flashes, setting camera and flash, understanding differences between ambient/constant light and strobe, metering flash power (guide number), etc.
II- Hands on Outdoor flash lighting and portrait photography (4 hours outdoors)
The second session moves outdoors where we’ll work with fill flash, matching ambient light, over powering ambient light, manual control, off camera set up, etc.
III- Studio set up and lighting using different light modifiers (4 hours indoor)
We are going to set up several stations equipped with different light modifiers (soft box, umbrella, beauty dish, etc.) You will experiment with all of them and will learn how they can change your lighting effects.
