From Fear to Flash: Pack Small. Shoot Big with JC Carey

Create bold, professional images with compact strobes and speedlights, plus get a first look at new gear!
About this Event

Think you need big lights to make big images? Think again.

Part of the From Fear to Flash series, Pack Small. Shoot Big is designed to help photographers unlock the full potential of compact strobes and speedlights. You’ll learn when smaller lights are the best choice, how to maximize their output, choose the right modifiers, position your lights for maximum impact, and create dramatic, professional-looking images with a lightweight kit.

As part of this demo, JC Carey will demonstrate techniques that apply to virtually any compact lighting system, proving that understanding light—not carrying bigger gear—is the key to creating great photographs, plus a bonus – he will share new gear!

Whether you’re purchasing your first flash, building a travel-friendly kit, or looking to get more from the speedlights and compact strobes you already own, you’ll leave with practical techniques you can put to work immediately.

Seats are limited - RSVP today!
