Join award winning pro photographer Tony Gale for a one-day workshop covering creative lighting with speedlights. In this workshop, we will specifically be working with the flash off-camera and modifying your speedlight for the best results. Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.
Lighting can be intimidating, but there are simple principles, techniques and concepts that can help you create powerful photographs. Natural light can be beautiful, but being able to supplement the light that is already there or even overpower it can dramatically improve your photographs. 
In this workshop, we will go from the basics through advanced techniques to help you get the most out of your camera and flash and make the best photographs possible for any given situation.
The day will start with a summary of flash and best techniques to control light. 
We will cover using multiple speedlights to really control and shape a scene as well as using speedlights to capture action. We will begin in the studio, but if weather allows, we will venture out to other locations.
Please bring your camera and flash, or flashes. We will have an assortment of modifiers available to use during the workshop. We will also have models available.
Students should be familiar with their cameras and lenses, as well as basic photography technique.
This Workshop is also part of our awesome Sony Camera promotion series. For more information on that, click here!
