( Lunch & model included in price )

Join us for an all-day Nikon flash photography workshop to learn how to get the most out of your Nikon external flash (SB-600, 800, 900). The Nikon speedlights offer a powerful yet flexible system, whether you have one or more flashes you’ll learn how to maximize their capabilities in this workshop. The workshop will help you understand the modes and functions of your flash, as well as how aperture and shutter speed affect flash photography. Find out how to effectively use multiple flash units and control your flashes wirelessly. Using multiple flash units opens up additional possibilities whether you’re in a studio or on location. They allow you to produce high quality results without the expense and bulk of studio lighting. We’ll also cover working with light modifiers for greater control over lighting your subject. Modifiers covered include soft boxes, umbrellas, diffusers, reflectors, gels, grids and snoots. Part of the workshop will be spent photographing a model where participants will have the opportunity to practice the techniques discussed.
