Learn the basics of electronic flash in this one-day workshop! Participants will learn how to control the direction and quality of light using a light meter and a variety of flashes and light-shaping accessories. The workshop will explore single-light setups with 5 to 7 different modifiers, allowing participants to compare how each accessory creates a different look. Participants will also gain practical experience photographing models while experimenting with various lighting styles to build confidence and elevate their images to a professional standard.

ANDREW FRENCH’s work is inspired by the signature look of his daylight studio in Union Square. He shoots editorial and commercial work for clients including Food & Wine, Esquire, Town & Country, House & Garden and O, The Oprah Magazine. Before he began his career as a photographer, Andrew worked as an assistant to over 70 photographers for nine years. He traveled the world learning from some of the masters of photography including Mary Ellen Mark, Annie Leibovitz, John Dominis, Art Kane and Ruth Orkin, among others. He helped these legendary photographers create their images from building sets to designing light on location and in studios, and along the way he soaked up their approaches to making pictures. Learning from the masters shaped Andrew’s approach to his own photography and is the basis of the knowledge he shares with his students.
