Masters of Light : WORKSHOP

with John Clements

Join professional photographer and lighting expert John Clements on this interactive and exciting lighting workshop on location at The Southampton Camera Club. Join us as we shoot step - by step, live portraits and fashion with numerous themes utilising all of the techniques that come together for top class results. We will work with daylight and flash throughout, based around Speedlight/Speedlite's, but the techniques and skills are also transferable in many instances to other uses. For example, do you ever use fill-in flash from a portable Speedlight/Speedlite in your landscape photography? If not why not… all will be revealed.
