UNLEASH YOUR CREATIVITY, LIKE THE DUTCH MASTERS, AND BECOME A FLASH PRO!

This unique small and intensive hands-on workshop, held in my fully equipped studio, will be both practice, for those who know a thing or two about flash, and a revelation, for those who do not.

I took this picture two days ago, on Friday. In a dark Niagara Falls restaurant with a bright "Outside", where everyone said NO picture could be taken. "It cannot be done", they said. And yet, here it is! Using just a camera and a flash, mounted on-camera. So easy once you know how!

Prerequisites: You need basic camera knowledge and a DSLR camera. Bring that camera, and IF you have it, your flash. I supply all studio equipment, snacks and drinks. If you have a Sony camera, you may need a converter to standard flash hotshoe.

What we do: In five hours, in a combination of lecture and hands-on, I will free your creativity by showing and teaching you:

• The minimum required technical knowledge. This includes a quick review of camera basics.

• How to think about a flash photo. My unique method suddenly makes it simple!

• The four (and only four) types of background.

• The Three Magic Recipes: "studio", "event", and "outdoor".

• How to fire remote flashes using your camera's system (Canon, Nikon).

• How to fire remote flashes using Pocketwizards.

• TTL or manual? How you decide.

• Strobes or speedlights? Pros and cons of both.

• Alternate radio triggers: Yongnuo.

• Bouncing a flash.

• Lighting a portrait.

• Using a flash meter.

• Using modifiers: Beauty dish, softbox, snoot, reflector, grid, and gel.

• Special techniques: ring flash, etc.

Right here in Brantford: off-camera flash

Prepare for your mind to be blown. In this intensive hands-on five-hour session you will learn all the above, and much more. Using my unique "Dutch Master Class" teaching method, I will open your eyes and enable you to translate your vision into a photo, so that your inner creativity can shine.

Look here: two images that show all you can do if you do not know flash:
