Course Description:

In this workshop students will learn how to use a flash unit in various lighting situations. The day will be divided between lectures and demonstrations on ways to use a flash. Shooting time follows each demonstration so students can put the information to use. The lecture begins with discussions on why and how to use a flash as the main source of light (meaning a low light situation requiring use of a flash) and how to use a flash as a fill light (balancing ambient light with the light of a flash unit). We will also explore how to determine exposure, how to control the light output of a flash, ways to diffuse a flash, and how and why to include or exclude ambient light. Demonstrations will include using a flash in a direct or bounce mode (on or off the camera). Wireless flash technology will also be discussed.

There will be breaks for lunch and dinner. Students should bring their flash (camera’s with a pop up flash are acceptable).

Maximum number of students: 12
