About This Workshop

This two-hour workshop will cover the use of off-camera flash for lighting portraiture. After a brief session on lighting theory, we'll go over one-light setups including Rembrandt, split, butterfly, and loop, and introduce some simple two-light setups such as clamshell and the use of key with fill, rim, and hair lights. An experienced model will be on hand, and we will have a live tethered setup so you can see the results of adjustments in realtime. All lighting equipment will be provided, but if you have a Godox-compatible flash trigger for your camera, please bring one. You should be comfortable using your camera in full manual mode - we will not be using TTL flash mode in this workshop.

ENROLLMENT LIMITED TO 20 PARTICIPANTS.

 About Stephen Ban

Stephen has been interested in photography since childhood, but only recently has he turned his hobby into a business. Since founding the Blackfish Collective in 2020, he has been working with other Victoria creatives to build a collaborative studio space and provide portfolio development and modelling workshops. Originally focused on wildlife and landscape photography, the bulk of his portfolio work now consists of creative portraiture using off-camera flash, with a style that leans towards film noir and vintage Hollywood.
