We’re building a new online video course on lighting and using flash and we’d like to ask for your help. We’ll be showing you exactly how to use off camera flash as well as on camera, using reflectors, balancing natural light and flash, high speed syncing and more. What would you like us to cover in more detail, what should we skim over and what might we have forgotten to even discuss? Based on your feedback, we’ll have a better idea of what to cover. Thanks for your help.
