Nikon Wireless Speedlight (Stage 2) Workshop
Image © John Clements
This stage 2 course is Ideal for photographers who have attended our stage 1 Speedlight Workshop, or who have reached a similar knowledgeable level. This next stage takes off from there, and majors around using multiple wireless flash with today’s current Speedlight options.
After explaining the theory of setting up various Speedlight combinations in an easy to follow step-by-step way, we then combine that with actual shooting of some professional level imagery. Delegates therefore leave with shots as a reference of the days content to support the supplied training notes.
Fun and information packed, with a balanced mix of theory and practical, we also demonstrate some of the third party accessories I use to maximise what off camera wireless flash can achieve.
In short, this workshop provides the basis for a lifetime of wireless flash creativity for the enthusiast or professional, with content applicable across numerous types of photography.
