If you’ve ever wanted learn how to create a great head-shot, this is the class for you. With just a few Canon Speedlites, we’ll show you how to quickly and efficiently create stunning portraits - ANYWHERE!

Don’t own three Speedlites? That’s okay, because we’ll show you how to effectively use one and two Speedlight set-ups for beautiful portraits as well, all controlled from the menu on your Canon Camera.

We’ll start by sharing some very simple ways to use one light to make a dramatic impactful portrait with our model. Then we’ll add additional lights to show you how you can add dimension to your portraits by simply placing a light in the right area. We’ll show different types of light modifiers and how one compares to another with respect to the quality of light they produce.

By the end of this class, you’ll have tools to go out and produce better headshots with ease!

Although this is not a “hands on” class, please bring your camera to take photos of each “set-up” for reference. If time allows, we’ll get you up to do some shooting.
