Lighting Techniques for Portrait Photography – Day Two: Off Camera Flash – Welshot Creative Hub
Lighting Techniques for Portrait Photography – Day two and it is all about Off Camera Flash Flash at the Welshot Photographic Lighting Academy Weekend. Day two will cover everything you need to know about Off Camera Flash, how it works with your camera and how you can take, make and create great portraiture photography inside and outside on location. From learning how to set up your lighting equipment from the ground up in the Welshot Creative Hub, you will be shown how to use one light, then two lights. You will be working inside and out on location around Llandudno, and Team Welshot will help you to get all the images you want for your portfolio. You will be shown how to work with props, modifiers and gels to give you a wide range of looks and our experienced Welshot models will put you at ease immediately. If you need any help (with posing or working with models) they will be only too pleased to give you all the help, guidance and suggestions you want. Our Models will be wearing a variety of outfits/costumes and we will be using a wide range of backdrops and sets (inside and outside). If you have ever wanted to learn, perfect or hone your Off Camera Flash for photography skills then this is the day for you.
