When is the next workshop?
Drop your details here and I will let you know!
This workshop is targeted at photographers who want to take their lighting to the next level and get a little bit more creative!
We will be using flash in this workshop but a lot of what you will learn is applicable to any type of lighting such as LED's
A workshop isn't a workshop if you're not getting your hands dirty. So once you have seen me do a demonstration, you will get to shoot our models with your own camera under my guidance to add some amazing new shots to your portfolio.
There is a structure and a schedule to my workshops but I am a very laid back person, and my workshops are designed to offer more of an informal, relaxed experience. So ask questions, have fun, and enjoy yourself.
Get hands on with the equipment!
At this workshop I will have Godox lighting equipment for you to use.
I will have triggers (on-camera transmitters) to fit the hot-shoe of Canon, Sony & Nikon cameras. (if you have another type of camera that has a hot-shoe that is not compatible with these let me know. You will not need ETTL, you will only need a hot-shoe that fits.

What Will I Learn?
The topic of conversation is using colour gels with off-camera lighting with a focus on flash. We will have a look at how I would conduct a photoshoot and how I setup, shape, balance and control colour gels in my portraits. We are going to look at camera settings and shooting with correct white balance as well as exposure.
We will not be using any ETTL systems, this will be all manual lighting with manual settings. It's easier than you think!
Once we have established some colour we will be introducing two different types of smoke machine to have some fun creating atmosphere!
