Our Speedlight (Off Camera) Photography classes are perfect for portrait photographers of all abilities who want to improve and develop their skills. During this photography workshop, you’ll learn how to unleash the potential of your flashgun off camera on location, with the use of a model. The workshop will involve outdoor and indoor practical sessions.

In a practical and creative environment, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from the best at City Academy. Our classes are limited to small groups so you can learn in a fast paced setting and gain confidence in this area. Once you’ve mastered one speedlite, you’ll be able to move on to two and even three or more, to create dramatic images worthy of a professional portfolio.

YOU WILL NEED

This course requires a mirrorless camera, a DSLR camera or a compact camera with full manual controls. If you own a tripod, please bring it. If you do not have access to either, we can provide you with a camera and tripod.

We also recommend you bring the following equipment with you to the course:

• If you own a speedlite, please bring it with you - but this is not necessary
• Your camera’s manual
• Fully charged battery
• An empty memory card
• Comfortable shoes
• External flash (for some classes, if owned)

You’ll also need a basic knowledge of aperture, camera lenses, shutter speed and ISO including exposure modes. If you’re a photography novice, then you may find it helpful to sign up to one of our Beginner Courses first.
