GET STARTEDYou’ve had inconsistent results with flash or never thoroughly understood it.
Your on-location portraits lack pop, drama, and beautifully lit backgrounds.
You’re unsure how to produce pro-quality lighting in the studio or on location.
“There is so much to like -- even LOVE-- about this class. Scott Robert explains light so well, respects and encourages creative differences, and empowers us with the knowledge to start using flash WITHOUT a huge investment. Love the emphasis on using manual flash instead of TTL.”

“Thank you so much for hands-on with Flash! I have never shot with a Flash, but you truly have inspired me to buy and try, and I have some ideas for portraits and how to fine-tune the light. This course has been awakening as far as lighting goes. I am excited to try it out! So from fearing and actually hating flash lighting, I am now starting to play with some ideas of how my photos can get the wow factor! Thanks again for the inspiration and practical run through.”
Bente J.
“I normally use available light but I got this course to educate myself in the use of artificial light. It has not disappointed. Scott is entertaining, very knowledgeable, and makes it understandable so you can go out and start practicing right away. Definitely one of my favorite courses.”
