Mendior Photography Studio (map)

Selected By: Reuben G. Mendiola

Greetings Fellow Strobist Members,

Do you struggle with your flash photography? Do you try to use flash on-locations and get undesirable results? Would you like to learn how to use "Off-Camera Flash" and combine it with natural ambient light?  If you said "Yes!", then this workshop is just for you.

We will be hosting a special Workshop on the topic of "Off Camera Flash Techniques". This Workshop will cover the use of flash, Off-Camera, in an outdoor environment and to calculate the exposure with natural ambient light. This Workshop will be presented in 2 parts. First, we will begin in the classroom to give a full comprehensive lesson of understanding the use of flash, especially when used "Off Camera". Second, we will migrate outdoors for some hands-on training.

During this workshop, you will learn...

* How to understand the technical aspects of "Off Camera Flash" Lighting.

* How to use a hand-held light meter and measure the flash against natural ambient light.

* What type of accessories are needed for proper "Off-Camera Flash".

* How to properly position "Off Camera Flash" equipment.

* How to set the various power levels in some flash units.

* How to determine the balance of exposures.

We encourage each attendee to bring their camera gear and favorite lenses.  However, it is not necessary to bring your flash units nor and tripod.  We will provide the Off Camera Flash equipment, Pocket Wizards Remotes, and Light Stands for every attendee to use.

Payment must be received in advance and in full, via PayPal. These sessions are very limited, PLEASE READ THE REFUND POLICY for all details regarding refunds!

    Good workshop for all-camera flash, good information BUT I'd like to see the class more engaged in the setup of the shot instead of having the instructor set the shot and explain as he goes. Doing is much different than listening/watching...
  • John Regina
    As usual, Rueben delivered a very informative class followed by a hands on photo shoot experiencing how to set up and direct light at the subjects to get the effects of a great photo.
  • Penny Clark
    Great workshop.
