Next workshop date: July 20th, 2019

The workshop will be held in the beautiful Rocky mountains,  we will also guide you to the most photogenic locations around the Banff region carefully planned for the best light, We will assist you in mentally visualizing a scene before capturing the decisive moment. Our aim is to raise your awareness and spark your creativity so that you not only go home with images to be proud of, but use your new found skills to improve and expand your photographic technique in general. Apart from the technical aspect of learning your camera settings and capabilities, you will learn how to turn an ordinary image into an extraordinary image by using your own creativity.

Refreshments: A light lunch will be included as part of your workshop on site. Water and coffee will be available. Bring snacks if you like. We will finish with a photo editing session at a local tavern where attendees can purchase a late supper.

The lighting system we use as professional photographers is Godox. Godox is the premier system for off camera lighting regardless of your camera brand. It will function seamlessly with Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Olympus and Panasonic. The beauty of Godox is it uses a universal transmission system, the strobes are wireless with lithium ion power and no cords. Lighting color is extremely accurate and it is the only system that has a fully integrated ecosystem with on camera flashes that can control an entire ecosystem of strobes, or be taken off camera and used as strobes. Their transmitters are very durable, reliable and easy to use even with no experience. We love Godox and though the techniques we teach can be applied to any off camera lighting system our workshops will teach proficiency in this system. We will also have extra transmitters for each brand of camera so that students can learn and use the lighting equipment with their own cameras.

Aaron Ashley loves their lighting so much in fact that he started a photography lighting store, www.illuminatilightsandstrobes.com , which is based out of Edmonton and specializes in Godox.

At each of our workshops there will be a prize of a Godox v860ii lithium ion speedlight, a rapid deploy softbox, a x-pro transmitter and a light stand given away to the photographer with the top photograph from the class as voted on by the other students and the instructors. Everything you need to start doing off camera flash photography and apply the techniques you will learn in the workshop.

“I am a multi-media artist that believes that great photography tells a story. This story is expressed through composition, forms, angles and lighting. In my travels I have shot every kind of photography imaginable, studio, concert, travel, fashion – pretty much if you show me a photo I can break it down to exactly what has been done to achieve that image.

While Corey will be focusing on softbox usage, selection and positioning as well as how to feather light to balance your subject with your background, I will focus on some of the technical aspects of off camera lighting. Discussing such thing as light color, lens selection and depth of field, as well as how light can be used to tell the story of your photograph and get your Instagram popping with the techniques that top-influencers use.

I can’t wait to meet you in person and share my love of photography to help you reach the next stage of your journey in photography!”

“I have a background in film photography and has been doing photography for 21 years. My passion is creating art with my photographs. I specialize in low-light photography, HSS and my style is moody and dramatic. My favourite types of shoots are fashion/lifestyle in urban settings.

I look forward to you joining our workshop in Lake Louise and teaching you low light photography and how to use different soft boxes for different situations.”
