Portraiture II: Using Flash

Learn to make better headshots and portraits with a single light.

If you are interested in learning to use a flash (or “speedlight”) to master portraits and headshots for personal use or to start your own photo business, then this is the class for you! In this very hands-on workshop, you’ll work with our experienced instructors and a model to learn practical ways to make better, more professional headshots with a single light.

Don’t have a flash yet? Don’t worry! We have all the lights you need to practice, and you’ll walk away with a better idea of which lights work for your exact needs.
