Outdoor: 3.5 hours – £220
Studio: 3.5 hours – £550 (includes professional model)
Master the foundations of flash photography in a practical, hands-on workshop designed to build your confidence using artificial light — whether you're brand new to flash or looking to take the guesswork out of your off-camera lighting.
Choose between an outdoor session at Walkden Gardens in Sale, using sculptural features as your subjects, or a studio-based workshop in Stretford, working with multiple lighting setups and a professional model. Both versions are one-to-one, ensuring the training is fully tailored to your skill level, equipment, and goals.
By the end of your session, you’ll not only understand how to control flash with intention — you’ll know how to confidently balance artificial and ambient light, apply shaping tools effectively, and create well-lit, expressive photographs across a wide range of situations.
What you’ll learn
Your workshop is tailored to your experience level and the type of flash work you want to develop. Depending on your chosen variant (Outdoor or Studio), focus areas may include:

Using modifiers (softboxes, diffusers, grids) to create soft or hard light
Understanding and applying the inverse square law for precise control
Creating depth and shape through multi-light setups
Building a simple, effective lighting workflow
How to approach common lighting scenarios with confidence
Studio variant: working with a professional model and creating multiple lighting “looks”
Outdoor variant: using structure, texture, and natural surroundings to craft creative lighting
Whether you want to improve portrait lighting, elevate your creative photography, or simply demystify your flash, this workshop gives you the clarity and confidence to use your lighting gear properly - every time.
