- THIS IS A PRE-LAUNCH E-LEARNING COURSE -
We’re excited to announce the upcoming release of our brand-new Flash Photography 2.0 e-learning course — a complete revamp of our classic Flash Photography series, redesigned for today’s cameras, lighting gear, and learning style.
Join now under our Pre-Launch Promo and be among the first to access the course when videos go live this December.
Learn the modern way to use Induced Lighting (Flashes and LED lights) correctly & effectively in this e-learning course. This course will teach you how to incorporate lights into your photoshoots to produce commercial quality photos
Topics covered in this Flash Photography 2.0 Course:
Master the art of lighting in photography — from understanding how light shapes an image to mastering both flash and continuous lighting techniques. This course is designed for photographers who want to elevate their skills with practical, modern lighting methods that apply to DSLR, mirrorless, and even smartphone cameras.
Introduction to Artificial Lighting – Why Add Lights?
Discover how lighting defines photography itself. Learn how light influences contrast, color, and depth — and how adding your own light can create sharper, more dynamic images. See side-by-side comparisons of natural light vs. flash for instant clarity.
Equipment Overview
Get familiar with the essential tools of lighting — from cameras and flashes to modifiers and triggers.
Cameras: How DSLRs, mirrorless systems, and smartphones handle flash.
Light Sources: Understand speedlights, strobes, and LEDs — their strengths, limits, and best-use cases.
Light Modifiers: Learn how softboxes, umbrellas, and gels transform the mood and quality of light.
Triggers & Accessories: Explore radio and optical triggers, stands, and mounting options for reliable setups.
Core Lighting Principles – The Famous Five
Build a solid foundation in the five most important concepts that define great lighting:
1 Stop Brighter: Use light to guide attention.
Bigger Light = Softer Light: Control softness with light size and distance.
Aperture & Shutter: Master the balance between ambient and flash exposure.
Power & Distance: Apply the inverse square law for consistent results.
888 Rule: A practical formula for quick, reliable flash setups.
On-Camera Flash Techniques
Learn to make on-camera flash look natural and flattering. Master indoor bouncing, outdoor fill light, and exposure blending to balance flash with ambient light — all while avoiding harsh shadows, flat lighting, and the dreaded “snapshot look.”
Off-Camera Lighting
Take full control by moving your flash off the camera. Understand remote triggering, light placement using the “clock method,” and lighting ratios (key, fill, and rim). Create professional-looking setups with just one or two lights.
Freezing Motion with Flash
Use flash to stop action in its tracks. Compare how shutter speed and flash duration affect motion — and learn how to freeze your subject even in low light or busy environments.
Using LED & Continuous Lights
Explore how modern continuous lighting fits into photography. Learn when LEDs work better than flash, how to mix light types, and how to achieve consistent results in both still and video setups.
Flash Sync & Advanced Techniques
Push creative boundaries with advanced synchronization techniques. Understand front vs. rear curtain sync, master high-speed sync (HSS) for bright outdoor portraits, and experiment with “dragging the shutter” for artistic motion effects.
Lighting Styles & Practical Scenarios
Apply everything you’ve learned in real-world scenarios. Practice lighting setups for portraits, products, and creative effects — including colored gels, silhouettes, backlighting, and rim lighting — to develop your own distinctive lighting style.
Course Outcome
By the end of this course, you’ll confidently understand how to shape, control, and create light — no matter what camera or lighting system you use. You’ll walk away with a toolkit of practical skills to shoot sharper, more dynamic, and professional-quality images in any environment.
