About this Event

***Registered Attendees will receive a Gift Card to Samy's Camera for the ticket price they paid for the workshop!***

Make your own light! Learn how to best use speed lights (flash that sits on top of the camera) both on and OFF the camera. In this workshop, you will also learn how to make unique and memorable portraits, by deliberately placing your light to shape the viewer’s experience of your photos.

Lose your fear of flash and gain the confidence to direct the flash, control its power using a Profoto Flash (both in Manual and TTL modes), and use simple light modifiers. Build basic lighting concepts and skills, while making interesting portraits of young models, in Samy’s classroom.

Learn to freeze time, modify the mood of the scene, and make images that never look "flash”. You’ll be using just one Profoto On Camera Flash (the standard of the professional photography industry) and one pop-up diffuser or reflector.

After the class, you will learn how to select your best shots, and how to share them with the models and the class! You will gain the understanding and confidence to use Profoto on-camera flashes and start making beautiful light on your next photo shoot! When you get used to getting stunning images with Profoto, you will want to purchase your own - and Samy’s will be there to help you!
