The Secret Weapon

One Setup. Every Client. Every Time.

This isn't a workshop about 50 different lighting setups. It's about the ONE setup that works — the go-to configuration that professional headshot photographers rely on to deliver flawless results, consistently.

The Lighting Formula

The exact strobe + modifier combination that produces clean, flattering light on every skin tone.

Positioning & Angles

Where to place the light, where to place the subject, and the exact angles that eliminate unflattering shadows.

Directing Your Subject

How to coach non-models into natural, confident expressions. The difference between a good headshot and a great one.

Replicable Anywhere

This setup works in a studio, a conference room, a hotel lobby — anywhere. One strobe, the right modifier, and you're set.

Camera Settings

The exact aperture, shutter speed, and focal length for headshots. No guessing, no chimping.

Hands-On Practice

You'll set up the lighting yourself, shoot real headshots, and get instructor feedback on your results.

Professional Headshot Workshop FAQ

The Flash Photography workshop is a broad introduction to flash — on-camera and studio. This workshop is laser-focused on one specific application: headshots. You learn one setup, perfect it, and leave with a repeatable system you can charge money for immediately.
Yes. That's what makes it the 'killer setup.' The combination of light quality, modifier choice, and positioning produces flattering, even light regardless of skin tone. It's the same reason professional headshot photographers use this approach.
No. AFS provides all the studio lighting and modifiers. You just need your camera. After the workshop, we'll give you a gear list so you can recreate the setup on your own budget.
The core principles apply to all portrait photography. But this workshop is specifically optimized for headshots — the framing, the background, the expression coaching. It's a specialized skill that clients pay premium prices for.
An 85mm or 50mm is ideal for headshots. If you only have a kit lens, that works too — we'll show you the best focal length range to use.
Professional headshot sessions typically range from $200–$500+ depending on your market. With this setup and some practice, you'll have the technical skill to deliver results that justify those prices.
