Shooting with Gels – Off Camera Flash – Chester Academy Evening
What Will Happen
At this Welshot Photographic Academy Evening in Chester it’s all about Shooting with Gels – Off Camera Flash Photography. You will be shooting on location, in an urban environment, around the historic city of Chester while capturing your stunning, experienced, Welshot models in camera while using lighting gels and modifiers. You will learn how to balance ambient, low-light conditions and flash photography while using gels. Not only will you leave this Welshot photographic workshop with a camera roll full of wonderful portrait photography but you will leave having learnt a new photographic skill and technique, or three.
Gels are coloured, transparent material used to modify lights for photography – placed over the light source to create stunning, often dramatic, colourful effects. You will even learn how you can make your own gels for your flashgun, using sweet wrappers.
Whether you are a beginner to photography, a photographer who would like to try a new genre, learn a new technique or skill or a more advanced photographer who wants to build their image portfolio, you will be made welcome, and we would love to help you get the best out of your camera.
The Welshot Team will be at hand throughout this session to assist and help you get the best from your camera, so you can leave at the end of this session with memory cards full of beautiful photographs and great memories.
Please Note: No food or drink is included in the cost of this event. This is a fully outdoor event – please make sure you come dressed appropriately. If Welshot decides to postpone this event due to bad weather conditions you will be given a number of options regarding your booking.
Welshot will be keeping within Welsh Government regulations and recommendations regarding the Coronavirus and Covid 19 Regulations, and we expect our delegates to do the same
