Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this lighting class:

If you feel confident with a camera but less so with a flash and would like to master external speedlight-flash technology, this class is for you. The goal of this six-session class is to learn how to use a flash so well that the outcome looks like professional lighting utilizing TTL/SB flash units on and off camera.

Students will work in various lighting situations, using the flash as both the main source of light and as a fill light. For each class, there will be lectures and demonstrations which include how to use a flash in both TTL and manual mode, on camera and off, how to determine exposure, how to control the light output of the flash, and how to diffuse the flash.

Demonstrations using stands and umbrellas will be given showing bounce methods and multiple strobe use. Students will be given assignments. This class is guaranteed to make you a master of your flash.

Please bring:

  • DSLR-Camera/Lens
  • Speedlight Flash unit(s)
  • Manuals
  • Memory cards
  • Extra well CHARGED batteries (for camera and flash)
  • Jump drive (for transferring your images for critique) 

Optional but recommended:

  • TTL-Off-Camera flash cord or wireless transmitters/receivers
  • Speedlight bounce diffuser (Bounce Adapter that come with flash unit or such as Omni Bounce/ Vello diffusers) 

Skill/Experience Level:

  • No prior experience working with flash technology is necessary. Students should have a working knowledge of their camera and the ability to shoot in manual mode.

  • Please note this course will be held at the Los Angeles Center of Photography. We are asking that all students be vaccinated or have a negative Covid-19 PCR test within 48 hours. Participants will be required to wear masks at all times, in addition to practicing social distancing.
