Intro to Outdoor Flash will give you the skills to manage your flash for outdoor photography.
Take the fear out of lighting your photographs in this introduction to flash photography. In this class, you’ll learn hands-on how to use your accessory flash better as we explore the Downtown Santa Ana Artists Village.
Professional photographers often shoot outdoors with their portable flash, on and off camera. It provides a powerful way to fill shadows and creatively blend ambient gently and portable fill light. This flash photography class teaches how to choose and use each workflow for your outdoor images and provides you with a new and easy-to-use tool to improve your outdoor photography even in the harsh light of high noon. Students also explore using this as a dominant light source in outdoor environments and further explore creative applications that blend ambient and portable flash light.

Our instructor will simplify accessory flash use outdoors by demonstrating the techniques to get you stellar portraits and simplify your landscape photographs.
