Creative Home Lighting Workshop

Autumn’s here, winter is coming resulting in shorter days and long dark wet nights! Have you a flashgun / speedlight or intend purchasing one and are not sure how to use it creatively off-camera? Then this workshop is for you!

 

What will you learn? This workshop will consist of a small amount of theory (about 30-40 minutes) to help you understand the basics of lighting (types & quality of light, lighting set ups, light modifiers and methods triggering the off camera flash. The remaining 3½ - 4 hours will be spent shooting using your flashgun, some simple everyday props, light modifiers and models to create some stunning and fun images for your portfolio.
