• In warm weather seasons, the workshop will also explore shooting with strobes in an outdoor setting to mix natural light and studio light to perfectly balance and control lighting outdoors. See our customer reviews here.

Seating for this workshop is limited to eight attendees, ensuring a personalized and hands-on experience. To participate, you’ll need a DSLR or mirrorless camera with interchangeable lens capability and a hot shoe, as we will provide the transmitter for lighting control. 

Lens options:

- For full frame cameras, a set of lenses that provide coverage from 50mm to 135mm.  An ideal pair of lenses would be a 50mm and 70-200

- For crop sensor cameras, a 50mm and another lens that can achieve at least 85mm (or more) 

Bring your lens hoods if you have them

Be sure to bring fully charged batteries and a memory card, with a backup card recommended. No additional flash gear is necessary, as all lighting equipment will be provided.

 Please note: if you have a Canon SL3 or T7 camera,  note that Canon has disabled radio trigger functionality in these models, and are therefore not suitable for the workshop.
