Master the Nikon i-TTL Flash System

Discuss this workshop

Learn how to use Nikon's innovative wireless flash system

Nikon Speedlights are renowned for their high performance, consistency and reliability. However, many people find it a struggle to understand how to operate them and fully utilise their effectiveness. This flash training workshop will take the mystery of out flash control and open up countless opportunities to exploit their image making capabilities. It will help you build confidence in Speedlight operation; showing you how to make better us of a single Speedlight both on and off-camera and by the end of the workshop you will be able to set-up and configure multiple Speedlights in a full Creative Lighting System configuration.

We start with camera settings for flash synchronisation, moving quickly on to identifying functions, buttons and settings on each of the current models in the Nikon Speedlight range. Through a mix of demonstration and practical hands-on assignments, you will try-out and use the best techniques for direct and indirect flash, balancing available and Speedlight light sources and the use of diffusers, umbrellas and effects filters to modify the light.

The workshop builds during the day with the more elaborate set-ups for portraiture and product photography taking place towards the end. All the way through, you will have plenty of scope to ask the questions that are specific to your equipment, your area of interest and your photographic aspirations.

This is an in-depth workshop which covers the subject in a thorough and intense way that you will find highly rewarding. We strive for a friendly relaxed atmosphere were the emphasis is on learning, sharing and inspiring!
