What You'll Learn

Learn Flash Photography — Speedlights to Studio Strobes

We cover both on-camera flash and studio flash, with more focus on studio setups. AFS provides all the gear — just bring your camera.

On-Camera Flash

Bounce flash, fill flash, and when to use your speedlight vs. going off-camera.

Studio Strobes

Power settings, recycle times, and how to get consistent results with studio lights.

Triggers & Sync

Wireless triggers, sync speed, and how to fire multiple lights from your camera.

Light Modifiers

Softboxes, umbrellas, beauty dishes, grids — what each does and when to use them.

Shaping Light

Key light, fill light, rim light, and hair light. Build setups from one light to four.

Hands-On Practice

Set up your own lighting, shoot real portraits, and get instructor feedback in real time.

Questions?

Flash Photography Workshop FAQ

No. AFS has studio strobes, triggers, and modifiers for everyone. If you own a speedlight and want to learn to use it better, bring it along — we cover on-camera flash too.
We cover both, but the focus is on studio flash. On-camera flash is useful for events and run-and-gun situations, but studio flash gives you the most control and produces the most professional results.
Not at all. This is an intro workshop. We start from scratch — what flash is, how it works, and build up to multi-light studio setups by the end of the day.
Softboxes, umbrellas, beauty dishes, grids, and reflectors. You'll learn what each one does to the quality and direction of light, and when to choose each one.
Absolutely. We'll show you affordable gear options at every level. You can start with a single speedlight and a cheap modifier and still get professional results.
Around 20 students max. Small enough that everyone gets hands-on time with the equipment and individual feedback from the instructor.
