Learn Lighting Techniques from one of the worlds top shooters!!

Here’s the opportunity of a lifetime to spend the day with a legendary photographer regarded as one of the world’s best shooters!

Join Joe McNally, internationally acclaimed American photographer, long-time photojournalist, and author of the ground-breaking smash best-selling book (The Moment it Clicks) for the only photography lighting seminar tour of its kind.

Joe shares his lifetime of experience and his personal secrets to using off-camera flash and on-location lighting to easily and quickly create the look you see in professional publications. You’ll see the whole process unfold right there in the class, as Joe shows you how to set-up, position, and control simple lighting that has a huge effect on your photography.

You’ll learn the step-by-step process of going from bad to good light with just one flash, then working your way up to two or more flashes.

You’ll see the dramatic difference taking your flash off the camera makes. Then you’ll learn the difference between the quality and quantity of light when using small flashes and studio lights.

Joe will take you through a variety of lighting set ups with live demonstrations and you’ll see first-hand how improving your lighting techniques can take your photography to a new professional level.

This is your chance to learn the secrets of one of the world’s most respected and admired photographers!
