This group started in 2008 with the goal of helping others learn about portrait photography while inspiring them on their photographic journey. Today, we've held hundreds of portrait photography workshops helping thousands of people at all skill levels.
This group is for photographers of all skill levels who like to photograph people. Our meetups are on a variety of topics including portraiture, editorial and themed. Some of these meetups are educational while others focus mainly on shooting - all are a lot of fun! If you're a beginner looking to learn or an experienced photographer looking for new opportunities to photograph people, this is the group for you!
Every event you attend will be well-organized with friendly people and you'll never find yourself "lost and alone" - I'm always there to help you learn and get your best images. You'll get to work with the latest professional equipment as well as professional models and stylists. I look forward to seeing you at one of our many events!

Outdoor Off-Camera Flash (OCF) Portraits
Brushy Creek Lake Park, 3300 Brushy Creek Rd, Cedar Park, TX, US* * * DO NOT REGISTER HERE ON MEETUP - visit https://www.precision-camera.com/outdoor-off-camera-flash-photography/ to register * * *
Off-camera flash (OCF) is one of the hottest topics in outdoor portrait photography yet many people struggle to get good results. This workshop will get you well on your way to making beautiful portraits using OCF. Topics include:
- Location scouting with good light and surroundings
- Understanding focal length for portraits
- Light quality and direction
- Equipment considerations
- Blending flash with available light
- How to separate a subject from the background
- Posing and how to make it work outdoors
We will cover this material in-depth then shoot at several spots at the park. You'll have plenty of time to shoot and explore the combinations of light, location and pose. I'll bring a flash that works with Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Panasonic and Fuji in TTL as well as HSS. If you're not familiar with those terms, you'll learn all about them in this workshop. You'll definitely want to bring your camera because you will be shooting during this workshop. I will provide the flash - you do not need to bring your own flash. Once you get the hang of using OCF outdoors, you'll see it's not difficult and can make a dramatic difference in your images.
We'll be joined by a professional model so you will be able to practice what you learn.
Your enrollment includes photo release for promotional/portfolio use so you'll not only learn about outdoor photography but you'll also have the opportunity to add to your portfolio.
Plan on wearing comfortable walking shoes for this workshop. At times, we may walk on uneven, rocky surfaces.
Please check your camera's firmware to ensure it is up-to-date. We've had a few people have technical issues at past workshops due to out-of-date firmware. If you would like to attend this workshop and need help updating your firmware send me a private message.
