“Love the Flash” – intensive portrait-photography workshop
An intensive eight-hour portrait workshop covering studio flashes, modifiers, lighting setups, model work and image retouching.
Join our intensive portrait-photography workshop.
We will show that studio lighting does not have to be intimidating: a few rules and practical techniques can produce remarkable results.
