Flash Dancing: A Flash Fu Workshop
In this hands-on workshop you will learn how to become a Flash Fu Master with your speedlite flash system. Michael will cover on camera and off camera flash techniques, using both manual and eTTL settings.
Learn how to tap into the full power and capabilities of your speedlite flash system. In this hands-on workshop, Michael will teach you the ins and outs of using your speedlites for virtually any type of lighting, anywhere, anytime! From in-studio portraiture, to wedding photojournalism, to shooting in full sun, to using speedlites for commercial shoots, Michael will cover it all in this jammed-packed workshop. Much of the day will be live demonstrations and hands-on shooting with both your gear and some of the tools that Michael uses. Models will also be provided -- Michael is planning to have a 3:1 student to model ratio, so there will be plenty of opportunities for live shooting!
