Flash Photography for Beginners
What you’ll learn
-
confidently use a flash both on and off camera
-
understand the basics of flash lighting
-
impress friends and family with great photos
This course is perfect for a DigitalSLR photographer wanting to master the basics of flash photography.
You’ll find I teach in a clear, simple way with hopefully no jargon so you really don’t need any experience with lights or even own one, I have all the links to the equipment you need over on my website (link below) and it won’t cost you more than £100 for the whole off-camera setup.
Do you need to be a competent photographer?
No not really. I will be showing you how to use your light in a manual mode so as long as you know on YOUR camera how to turn it to ‘M’ and adjust the aperture and shutter speed setting you’ll be fine. In fact if you are stuck I’ll help you with that too.
What are the requirements?
None… well, except an SLR camera!
Who is this course for?
All my training is aimed at amateur photographers rather than professionals. If you’re frustrated that you can’t :
- take photos in the evenings
- take photos indoors
- take photos at parties
- then this is for you.
Who is this course NOT for?
This isn’t a course for professionals or experienced lighting users hoping to better their skills. All you are going to find here is the settings you need for basic but well, evenly lit photographs when your camera can’t cope.
What am I going to get from this course?
6 videos (50 mins) of quality training. Nothing ground breaking but exactly what you need to get you started using your flash both on and off your camera.
Assuming this training is well received I plan to do a more advanced course later in the year and that will be the course where we go outside, use multiple lights etc.
I hope that’s enough to convince you and I look forward to seeing you in the training course!
Who this course is for:
- This flash photography course is for Digital SLR camera users. No experience is required as I explain all the manual settings you need for both your camera and the lights.
- The course does not cover TTL automatic modes, purely manual which you’ll discover is simple and liberating!
- This course is not an advanced technique course, simply a how-to basic guide to get you going and consistently shoot great indoor photos with a flash.

Steve Starling –
Really wanted more about camera and flash settings, after buying the recommended speed flash and triggers, stand and shoot through brolly. It does delve briefly into settings, but very basic. Entirely my fault I should’ve gone for the more advanced course, but hey Ho! Knowledge is never a waste ! And it is explained in a very warm and friendly manner.
Walter van Straaten –
Course is pitched just about right for beginners (i.e. me!) – covers all the basics at the right level of intensity. Nicely done
John Beecroft –
I also have the same unit ( 2 years) and have just bought a second. The manual is difficult to understand so this is just the job-so far.
Well presented and easy to understand. I now have the confidence to carry on with a second flash. Look forward to the next one.

I learned a lot from the beginning to the end. The course is very easy to understand and the instructor teaches very well. I would like to learn about ETL mode too, I do not know if it can be seen in a later course. I really recommend this course.

Learned some small things that i didn’t know about ,would have been nice to see a couple outside shots. But that takes more time ,and for $10.00 .It was a good course. Thanks and let me know when you go outside with a course .Thanks ken
James Whittlesey –
Great introduction. I am looking forward to lighting 201.
Michelle Beckett –
This course was very good especially for anyone starting out using flashes. It was a bit basic for myself however I did pick up a few good tips. Adrian speaks about a 201 course…. I would definitely sign up to it based on the one however there doesn’t seem to be a 201 course out??
Paul Hildreth –
This does exactly what it says on the tin. Flash photography for beginners. Very basic and just what I needed. I would have given it 5 stars but for the lack of response to my posted question (I found the answer to my question within the course anyway but that’s not the point). thoroughly enjoyed it. It has got me started and I look forward to the lighting201 course that Adrian talks about
Dipankar Kaul –
Wonderful, short and up to the point course. Useful for those who want to quickly set up flash and learn how to use it indoor. Overall I am satisfied with the course.
Mark Sean Roocroft –
Very easy to get into and knowing the manual mode was the part I needed to understand more. I will rewatch this again on my phone.

The teacher is to the point, and very knowledgeable! I definitely like that the entire class is 1 hour long! I just finished the course, and feel that I can confidently go out and shoot with my off camera flash!
Great Job!!!!!
