Flash Photography

A flash photography workshop has been organized by Canon EOS Academy in collaboration with Lightshop Design in KLCC. It is FREE but is only limited to 30 people. A great opportunity which should not be missed by photographers regardless of amateur or professional.

This 3 hours workshop was aimed to expose us to world of flash photography from the strobist’s point of view. There were some theories on flash photography presented in interactive slides show and performing some demonstrations using studio lighting equipments such as reflectors, diffusers & honeycombs.

Light plays a great influence in photography. If u observe closely at the photo above, the one on the left side is a normal shot without light while the right side is a shot with lighting directed at the food from certain direction.

The speaker of this workshop was Joe Chan, a multi-talented photographer with 20 years of experience under his belt. He demonstrated his skills on food photography with flash and then flash photography on portraiture.

After you have seen a number of my posts in my blog here, u might start wondering HOW, WHY and WHAT makes me going into photography. Photography is an interest which you do it with passion. As most people would say " A photograph paints thousand of words".

This book is not that thick as you see in this photo but it contains the basic photography skills information you need to shoot regardless if you are using a digital camera or a DSLR. Although this book says that it only takes 21 days to guide you to become a professional photographer, a lot practice in photography is needed.

You can't find this book anywhere in Malaysia's bookstores as Canon is not selling this. After finished mastering the book, i began shooting my first picture.
