I have to say, this flash photography course was a game-changer for me. It had exactly what I needed to move from natural to artificial lighting, breaking everything down into bite-sized, easy-to-grasp pieces. The hands-on advice was a goldmine, and the instructor was spot-on with all the tips shared. I highly recommend to anyone looking to level up their photo game!

Ein guter und strukturierter Rundumblick in Sache Blitzfotografie!

Using a flash is something I've never done, feeling too intimidated not knowing where to start, so a beginner's overview was just what I was looking for. Wow, I'm blown away by how much I've learned from this crash course! Answered all my questions, and more-- thank you Pye!

I really appreciate the way Pye teaches. If you are new to off camera lighting, he will get you started here and set you up to practice and learn more. His way of teaching is simple but informative. Very down to earth. This is a great starting point.

This has been one of my favorite courses so far on Creative Live. A great starting point for OCF. I really enjoy Pye's teaching methods as I have seen them on other platforms so I was excited to find this here. Not only does he explain things in digestible bites, but also his demos are helpful too! Will definitely be watching the more in depth series that follows!

This is a wonderful class! I was able to apply these concepts right away for a senior portrait shoot. i was like, "Wow! Pye was right!" I have learned not to tweak 100 different things at once and get confused. His CAMP system makes SO much sense...clarifies everything. Thank you, Pye, for this. You're a wonderful teacher! Marry me! I'll wait.

I've been following Pye for many years because he has a solid skill for making complex subjects easy to understand. This short course is great value for all levels of photographers as a concise and actionable way to put wow in our portrait work by creatively (and easily) adding supplemental light sources. Highly recommended!

Pye is a talented instructor with a wealth of knowledge. He has an excellent technique of brining out the learning points and does an excellent job at the end of the sessions through summary. He provides some handy tools to assist the beginner to get out and shooting pictures with simple, easy to remember steps, e.g. CAMP. While I am a huge fan of building a foundation of theoretical knowledge, the majority of the first 8 sessions was more on an informercial for Profoto to the point of being painful. A few examples if I may. Pye tells us he is not familiar with the Godox menu system but then sings the praises of Profoto because it is so easy to use? Mmmm, maybe if you actually understood the Godox system you would find it easier to use? When it comes to modifiers, you stress that the Profoto is so much better because of its portability even though it takes more time to set-up than the competition; however when it comes to Menu systems the GoDox is not as good because it takes more time. So one is okay even though it takes more time but one is NOT good because it takes more time? No paradox here right I appreciated his chart to demonstrate the differences between Groups and Channels; however, when using the same identifier for both, e.g. letters, it can be confusing. From my perspective identifying Groups as Teachers using a # and Channels as students using letters (A,B,C,D) would reduce the risk of confusion. Instruction 101: if you are going to demonstrate something, learn it before you take up screen time! Profoto has the most counter-intuitive number system for power. How does 9 out of 10 make one think of 50% power? Session 8 – 2 minutes of actual information crammed into 15:40! With respect to terminology, Pye asks do we really need Master/Slave? I’d ask do we really need “Air” versus “Radio”? good tips on Trouble Shooting Overall the last four sessions made the whole session worth it. The simplified and structured approach of CAMP was brought out nicely with the dramatic and natural on-location shoots. Well done
