Mastering Flash Photography August 25, 2012

Light is the language of photography. Understanding when - and how - to use light while working on location is essential to creating images with style and impact. Through the use of wireless compact flash units, intermediate and advanced photographers will learn to improve their lighting style and technique. Portable, wireless flashes are convenient and cost effective ways to use multiple flash units on location, simplifying candid and travel photography.

Through mini lectures and hands-on demonstrations, students will discuss flash modes; using light modifiers to shape, soften and control light; and applying colored gels for enhanced effect. Students will also learn to manipulate the strobe for high key light effect, or blending for natural looks.

In challenging lighting situations, students will learn to master the strobe and use on-camera flash and wireless, multi-strobe setups.
