Portable Flash Workshop with John Clements

John's expertise in using flash as a creative and technical tool has seen him shoot images for many well-known brands and clients. In addition he has been widely sought-after to run seminars and workshops on the subject. So to help get more from portable flash use Park Cameras is pleased to present this day-long, two-part workshop.

Put simply there has never been a more compelling time to use portable flash, the kind that sits in a hotshoe or, as in many instances today, wirelessly controlled off camera for a pseudo studio lighting alternative. During this easy to follow but information-packed workshop, John will share from the ground up his insights and tips of the trade for maximising what your on-camera flash or multiple off camera flash arrangement can do. Combining an explanation through images along with practical demonstration (for which he will utilise both Nikon and Canon systems), the information will be largely relevant whatever your brand of choice happens to be. To put it plainly, if flash has been a mystery, the ground covered will open up a lifetime of understanding.
