FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY FOR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS

learn to light

Simple flash techniques for wedding photographers

The basic premise is, if I can do it, anyone can.

IF YOU’VE EVER FOUND YOURSELF IN A STICKY SITUATION AT A WEDDING…

…awful weather, dark venue, high ceilings, no natural light, and wondered how you could have managed it if you were more confident with your flash. Similarly, if you live for beautiful daylight photos and want to remain consistent throughout the full gallery that you deliver. Then this course is for you.

We’ll look at how I light weddings in challenging scenarios with a simple, stripped back and portable lighting kit including bounce flash, cross lighting, high speed sync flash and video light. This is the kit that I take with me to all of my London weddings and won’t leave you with a huge and expensive shopping list. We’ll look at how you can work with what you have.

We’ll go back to basics and look at how flash works in conjunction with your camera settings, but in an easy to understand way. There’ll be no flash calculations, just easy, practical guidelines for you to follow.

We’ll help you channel your signature style, the confidence you have with natural light, into your flash work. You can use these skills to deliver consistent, beautiful reportage shots throughout the galleries you deliver to your clients.

AN INTRODUCTION

This course is for you if:

You’d like to feel more confident, especially in unconventional venues or for late start weddings.
You’d love the elevate your candid and reportage photos of indoor portions of the day.
You’re shooting ambient light, not because you love it, but because you cant get flash looking right.
You think your ambient light shots look ‘alright’ but you’d like to move on from muddy skin tones and make your images sing.

No numbers or weird calculations

You won’t learn loads of snazzy techniques for portraits – we’ll touch on this briefly, but this isn’t the focus. But what you will learn will hopefully open you up to the possibilities, so you can go on and create something great.

If you’re already a flash whizzbot, this probably isn’t the course for you, but if you want a helping hand to feel more confident then read on….
