This in-person, beginner class taught by award-winning wedding photographer, Scott Josuweit of SMJ Photography, at a real wedding venue (The Barn at Stoneybrooke in Atglen, PA) will guide wedding photographers through all the base knowledge they need to confidently dive into the world of flash photography so they can confidently handle difficult lighting situations on wedding days.
We’ll create a solid base by starting with the most basic fundamentals that so many never learn and then move on to slightly more advanced things like using multiple flashes for ceremonies and receptions.
We’ll end with a small taste of using flash to create unique and artistic couple’s portraits in dark settings.
