Release and improve your flashgun’s potential during this workshop. You will learn how to take amazing shots in manual mode and develop your skills to be able to use two, three or more speedlites at once. This workshop is perfect for one who go towards being portrait photographers of all abilities and who want to improve and develop their skills.

What will I need
What you need is a basic knowledge and knowing basic essentials of camera settings including aperture, shutter speed, camera lenses and ISO including exposure modes. If you’re a new to photography but would still like to take part in this workshop, we recommend completing one of Beginner Courses first.
Participants will also need to use a digital SLR camera or a professional compact camera with manual exposure.If you don’t own a suitable camera, it is not a problem as you can hire one off mine on the day of your course. Please let me know in advance if you need to borrow my equipment so I can make sure I have it ready for you.
