Constant Light Shows You the Light. Strobes Give You Control
Constant lights are a good place to start. But they run out of power right when you need it, push your ISO up, and make it hard to freeze movement or match colour across a set.
Strobes solve all of that. They just feel risky until someone shows you how, and nobody wants to learn on a client's time. That's what this workshop is for.
What strobes give you
Constant light still has its place. It's great for video, and for seeing light as you shape it. You'll leave knowing which to use when.
Every attendee takes home A Studio Guide to Lighting, our printed handbook. Each setup is mapped out step by step: where the model, camera, strobes and V-flats go. Here are four of the five setups inside, free to use on your next session.
Beauty and Headshots
Soft, even light and smooth skin. One light does almost all the work.
Moody Portraits
One light and one V-flat. Deep shadow with a clean edge.
Full-Length Ecommerce
A clean, bright white background that stays the same across a whole collection.
Premium Ecommerce
A soft 45-degree shadow that adds depth without losing the clean look.
Common Questions
Simple Answers
Everything you need to know before you book. Still unsure? Email [email protected] and we'll get back to you.
A short demo of each step, then it's over to you. Everyone connects their own camera, shoots each setup, tethers to the external monitor and experiments with the settings. Questions are welcome the whole way through.
No. If you can shoot in manual mode, you're ready. If you've used strobes before but never felt confident with them, this is for you too.
Your camera, a charged battery and a memory card. Bring your laptop if you want to try tethering. We supply the strobes, triggers, modifiers and monitor.
Two hours hands-on, A Studio Guide to Lighting (printed, yours to keep), and a 4-hour studio session so you can run your own commercial shoot with what you've learned.
Six at most, first in, first served. Small enough that everyone gets real time on the strobes with their own camera.
Any camera with a standard hotshoe: Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm and more. Not sure about yours? Email us before you book.
Sometimes. Constant light is great for video, and for seeing light as you shape it. For stills, strobes give you more power, sharper frames and colour you can trust. You'll leave knowing which to use when.
