Description

Have you asked yourself the question: how come my flash pictures never look the way I want them to?  How do I set this thing?  Why do I see photographers using flash outdoors when there's plenty of light?  Why do my flash pictures give people Red Eye?  What is rear curtain sync and when should I use it?  If you've ever asked just one of these questions this two-day workshop is for you!  Harrison understands flash and will teach you in a way that's easy to understand.  Whether its the pop-up, built in flash on your camera, an add on "dedicated" flash that you slip onto your hot-shoe, or a simple monobloc that plugs into the wall, we will explore them all.

Regardless of the flash, we will cover how the basic principals of lighting apply to your flash for great creative results consistently.  This two day session will combine in-class explanation and demonstrations with do it yourself, hands-on participation and daily critiques.  You'll explore on-camera flash, bounce light, off-camera flash, fill-flash, and mixing light with available light sources. We'll show you how to achieve cool slow-sync effects and when to use front or rear curtain sync settings.

You should bring your camera, memory cards, CHARGED BATTERIES, extra batteries, lots of batteries... and of course your flash (with its instruction book if you have it) and a NOTEPAD.

* Please note that the February session will have the privilege of photographing the rehearsal for the grand-opening of the West Palm Beach waterfront project as part of your hands-on experience. April students will be photographing an an advanced TBD.
