Hot Shoe Lighting Workshop and Boot Camp

Hot Shoe Light Setup

This workshop is about one thing. How to take your off camera flash with a digital SLR and move your photography to the next level. This four hour workshop will be intense. With students getting hands on experience with hot shoe lighting equipment. Students will help set up and break down the equipment, learn what equipment is needed and the use of each part, how to adjust your lights, mix lights with room lighting, the use of reflectors, soft boxes, unbrella. and more.

I guarantee you have never attended a workshop like this before. You may already have some of the equipment needed to start shooting with fast lights. You will learn the terminology such as Ninja Shooting, Fast Light, Hot Shoe, and see how you can control light. This class is good for the beginning serious photographer or the one that has been shooting for years.

You will be provided a wealth of resource information and be on your way to the new world of portable lighting. You will see how versatile this type of lighting can be. No cords, no external electric power, no generators, and no question this is the best way to take your studio on the road.

You will even see a VOICE ACTIVATED LIGHT STAND. Yes, you have to see it to believe it.

And now the best part. The workshop is only $50.00. The same would cost hundreds of dollars elsewhere.   No kidding.
