All new off camera flash photography workshop – LOVE THE DARK!
Following the success of my previous sold out wedding photography workshops, my next workshops, which will be focused entirely on off camera lighting for wedding photographers, will be held in October and November 2022 🙂
Off camera flash and off camera lighting is the area that I am asked about the most yet it is something that I haven’t been able to spend too much time on at previous workshops due to trying to pack so much else in. Off camera lighting forms a massive part of my work and during this workshop I will go through everything from the basics of setting up a simple yet beautiful portrait all the way through to creating epic portraits which will wow your bride and grooms!
My first off camera flash workshops were a huge success and the feedback from the photographers who attended was fantastic. You can see photographs from two of those workshops here: https://www.neilredfern.com/blog/off-camera-flash-workshops-at-eaves-hall/
I hold my off camera flash workshops in the winter months because it then allows us the dark conditions where using flash really makes a huge difference. In October the sunset is just after 6pm and as the workshop will run until 7pm, we will have a good amount of time where we can shoot outside in the fading light. This is the time when we can get really creative with flash and I will show you how you can take epic images at sunset and then complete darkness – exciting!
“A huge thanks for yesterday’s workshop. I took so much from it, it was the perfect blend of info and practical and you delivered it in such a clear and easy to understand way, it was great fun. I’ve never been a very technical person so have always just tried to improve every wedding by being inspired by others and trying to figure out how they’d done it.”
Evening light, sunset and …darkness
The best time of day for creative flash images is in the evening as the natural light starts to fade, therefore this workshop will start at 11am and won’t finish until 7pm, allowing us plenty of time to shoot as the sun is setting and then when it is completely dark.
If it rains …we get wet! But it means that we will get some amazing rain images 🙂
“Thank you again so much Neil, the workshop was just beyond incredible!”
Equipment
I use and absolutely love Phottix triggers. I use both the Odin and Strato triggers depending on the photograph I am taking. As I will explain on the workshop they each have their own advantages depending on the situation.
Phottix Strato trigger sets, the MagMod modifiers and all the equipment which I love and use, can be purchased on my Amazon shop here
“Thanks so much for an inspirational and informative day. I can’t wait to put my new skills into practice. I was a bit nervous about the workshop but you were great and put me at ease.”
Limited to just 6 photographers
I want everyone who attends the workshop to not only come away with awesome images but also to make sure you gain the confidence and knowledge to take your own killer off camera flash photographs in the future. To do this I will be limiting the workshop to just 6 photographers. This ensures that I will be able to give you individual help and support to make sure that you understand exactly what you are doing and also allows you enough time to take your own shots.
It also means that the workshop will book out quickly so don’t delay…!
Learn how to use flash during each part of the wedding day
Using off camera flash at weddings isn’t just about taking epic images at sunset. I use also flash for many parts of the day including speeches, reception and the first dance. Using flash during speeches for example can open many more opportunities for capturing those fleeting moments in a creative way. The first dance is another time where using off camera flash can open up so many more options for incredible images.
One the workshop I will show you simple set-ups for speeches and dancing that you can take away and use at your own weddings to create incredible images which will wow your bride and grooms.
Invitation to join an awesome Facebook community
One of the things I am most proud of from the workshops which I have run is the amazing Facebook group which has developed from all the people who have attended the workshops. The group has developed in to a really great community with everyone helping each other, offering advice, asking questions and passing on referrals. Everyone who attends one of my workshops is invited to join the group and become part of this fantastic community.
A debrief over a couple of well deserved drinks!
As with every workshop I run, once we have put the cameras away I will be inviting everyone to join me for a drink in Clitheroe. It is a chance for us all to unwind and look through the images we have just taken. We may not have long as the workshop finishes late but we’ll make the most of the time we have!
