Learn how to get big results with minimal lighting equipment. Photographer turned dentist Vu Le will show you the fundamentals behind small flash photography. We'll discuss the techniques that made Joe McNally, David Hobby, and Zack Arias into internet lighting superstars. Then we'll distill it down to techniques that you can use THAT DAY, using less than $100 in lighting equipment. Hands on shooting exercises will be provided.
