Speedlights 101

Once you know what’s happening with your camera and flash you can do almost anything. Speedlights open up a new realm in your photography. They are light to carry, quick to set up. And you never know when you're going to need that extra light for a more dramatic image.

This workshop will give you the confidence to incorporate small portable flash in your photography toolkit. From shooting receptions at weddings or adding drama in senior portraits, this workshop will include lots of live shooting examples that will help everything make sense. Get ready to take your photography to the next level. Once you start working with portable flash, you'll never understand how you lived without them.

One of best course from Creativelive. I've bought many courses from Creativelive and this one is at top of my list, Probably this is only course along with Sue Bryce for which I'd even consider writting review to help others make great investment. Mark did great job in answering questions and providing information in a way that is very understandable.

That's not Mark's fault - it's the Creative Live team that is responsible for providing the downloadable files.

But otherwise, be patient they can take a little while to go up - I am sure they will be available in due course. If something has gone wrong and they can't be fulfilled, I expect cL will reimburse us for those "missing" files, somehow.

What a fantastic workshop!! Practical, applicable, and SO informative. Mark is a talented and naturally gifted teacher. I have been so frustrated trying to learn speedlights on my own and this really helped to demystify them and make using them a little less scary. Get these videos if you know what's good for you! =)

I've viewed & downloaded Mark's training videos from his earliest webinar days. Each video is an excellent source of photographic knowledge. I've purchased this webinar & also his prior Anatomy of a Photoshoot; both are "Awesome". He's an excellent educator. I’ve had the privilege of meeting Mark several times. In person he’s just as he is in webinars; open & engaging. Thank you Mark for all your efforts to educate .

Thank you!! You rock!!! I just purchased the videos and I am looking forward to learning how to use my Nikon SB 910. I knew I had to purchase the videos as I have been glued to my monitor soaking up as much information as I can and neglecting my family. LOL Mark, I am grateful that you are sharing your knowledge and for the CreativeLIVE team providing the education to me. I am so excited to put all this information to use. Thank you for the wealth of information!

Thank you, Mark, for this very informative and practical 2 days (thus far) coverage on speedlights. I have learned so much from watching you on Youtube already but the past two days were mind-blowing and my knowledge of lighting, in general, has been expanded beyond my expectations. It takes a very well-organized and passionate teacher to be teaching a subject as 'complex' as speedlights and still have his students yearning for more.

Watching for free only

jambedda
May 20, 2012 - 4:40pm

Watching for free only applies to the first 3 videos that Creative LIVE releases as a teaser, as well as watching it LIVE real time. You click the enroll button to do that. Creative LIVE also puts a free replay on, but again, you don't get to pause or stop it, you have to watch it real time.

Great! I'm so thankful to you, CreativeLive, for providing this great opportunity to learn an important subject of photography - Speedlights - from the professional Mark Wallace. He is such a good teacher and explains everything in real-life situations and on slides. As he fires his flash, I instantly see the resulting photo on my screen, so this is theory combined with practice. I'm in fact watching you from Belarus, and it's midnight, so I'm fighting with sleep, but I can't get myself away from the screen. this is my 1st CL experience. I'm very grateful for running a rewatch of the previous Day the following morning, so I woke up and saw what I'd missed. And it's totally free! Thank you so much for a true first-class education!
