This class is all about two things: Learning how to use the basics of your flash on the camera and how (and why) to take the flash off the camera.
Join Hunt’s Photo Educator Rebecca Wade as we discuss how to take pictures using a speedlight, and make them look great, no matter what the situation. We will discuss photographing people, but also photographing product and how flashes work. We’ll talk all about the basics, including modes, settings, and more!
Whether you own a flash and have no idea how to use it, you want to take great photos at functions and family events that are in low light, or you just want to learn how to add a flash into your repertoire, this course is for you!
