Description

“Speedlight Workshop”

Tuesday  11th July 2017 – Maximum number of delegates 10

Damian McGillicuddy New Studio, Phoenix House, Widnes

“Set your speedlights free!”

 

The speedlight that you probably already probably own is a hugely capable tool. Are you ignoring its potential? Being able to control and “bend” light to your creative will is one of the great secrets that will help you make your photography stand apart from the crowd. Off camera flash (OCF) can seem intimidating, but Photographic Grand Master Damian McGillicuddy will help you realise its potential and your own in this introductory speedlight workshop.

 

 

Why this photographic workshop is for you

Any photographer at any level, from novice to pro, with an understanding of shutter speeds and apertures along with core camera craft. This speedlight  workshop will also benefit those who wish to demystify photographic lighting,  it is a “must do” for any photographer looking to gain more creative control using OCF.

You will need to bring if you have it your speedlight and trigger.

Although Damian is Olympus Principle photographer and Trainer this workshop is a camera agnostic event, any make and model of camera is welcome. Just bring enthusiasm and a willingness to learn!!

If anyone wishes to try any of the olympus equipment we will have some on hand but it is definitely not compulsary !!
