Introduction
You’ve invested in an external camera flash—but beyond mounting it on your camera and filling in dark scenes, you’re not quite sure how to use it. More often than not, your flash photos look harsh or flat, leaving you frustrated and blaming the gear—or worse, abandoning it altogether. If this sounds familiar, this Creative Flash Photography Course is for you. You’ll learn how to confidently control your flash, shape light creatively, and transform your photography in any lighting condition.
Course Description & Expectations
In this course, you’ll go beyond the basics of operating an external camera flash. You’ll learn how to use your flash effectively in a variety of settings—whether you’re shooting indoor events or outdoor portraits. The course also covers advanced techniques such as off-camera flash, bounce lighting, and multi-flash synchronization to create professional-quality images with dramatic lighting. You’ll gain the confidence to fully unlock the creative potential of your flash and finally make the most of the gear you’ve invested in.
Our training program embraces a three-part format which includes theory, application and review/critique. The four sessions are a mixture of classroom and outdoor for the optimal learning experience.
