Melbourne - Off Camera Flash & Available Light Night Portraits

Understanding light is one of the key elements in portrait photography. A minor modification in light and shadows can turn a simple photo to a moody dramatic storytelling image.

This workshop is for photographers who would like to improve their outdoor night time portraits shooting skills using off camera flash or available light and colored gels.

I will show how to expose the backgrounds and mix with off camera flash to get enough light on your model to produce high-quality dramatic portraits.

There will be continuous lights with colored gels and studio strobes with universal trigger available for attendees to use. Your host Zeeshan Zafar - Sony Australia Digital Imaging Advocate will explain some key principals and use of using off-camera flash and continious lights to capture amazing fashion portraits.
