Master the art of creating beautiful light at this full-day lighting workshop. With the gear you already have.
What You’ll Learn.
While photographing professional models I’ll guide you through how to re-create my Top 6 lighting styles using both a studio light and your speed lite.
With each lighting set up we’ll first create it with and studio light and learn how to shape and modify the light and get the correct look and exposure. We’ll discuss the use of soft boxes, grids, reflectors, diffusers and which is the right one for the job and why. No won’t need to own any of these, as I’ll supply them all. (Think of it as try-before-you-buy!).
And then we’ll do the same then using a your speedlite so you can create the same lighting style anywhere, anytime – in your home studio or on location. Yes, you’ll be able to shoot these outdoors on location as well with off-camera flash.
We all have a speedlite so I’ll also guide you through getting your camera and speedlite communicating properly.

What You Need.
All you need is your camera and lenses, your speedlite (flash) and a wireless speedlite trigger / transmitter.
If in ANY DOUBT, please ask me here to confirm what you have is right.
Everything else I will supply:
Softboxes, Umbrellas, Reflectors, Diffusers, Light Stands
Get to know and learn what works for you and is practical for your kit before you go and buy it (by using mine!).
This is the best ‘bang-for-your-back’ workshop I’ve ever created and I’m so excited to be running it for the first time. It utilises the gear you already have with the skills you need to be able to create beautiful, professional lighting anywhere, anytime.
