Simple and Affordable Lighting for Portraiture
Lifelong Learning

Your on-camera flash, or even an external flash unit that mounts on top of your DSLR, can make a huge difference for proper photo exposure. However, portraits lit by on-camera flash are pretty grim: stark, flat, and unpleasantly contrasty. Improve your portrait photography and bring your lighting to the next level by just moving the flash off-camera onto a light stand or even a shelf or table! Join us and experience the many uses and modifiers for off-camera lighting including umbrellas, soft boxes, and reflectors that you can use to make your images look more professional. More affordable than studio lighting, speedlights can get the same look as the pros with the added advantage of no cables or cords. You'll learn via demonstration of techniques and then enjoy practical application using the instructors equipment. Don't forget to bring your camera and your creativity! Students should have a working knowledge of photography and its basic terms.
