Improve Your lighting Skills

Organizer: Janice Perkins

Leader: Jon Clarke

What You’ll Learn

• Getting the most from your speedlights – both on and off camera
• Using strobes to enhance your images
• Make your subject stand out from the background
• Show your subject (i.e. product photography) in a realistic, yet creative and pleasing way
• Using flash to create drama by controlling shadows
• We will show examples of product photography, travel photography, macro, still life, and people photography: portraits, fashion, and beauty.

This workshop will include a lot of demonstrations.
This is the first workshop of two.
This first one sets up the foundation for a follow-up that will be very hands-on.
