The Speedlite, once freed from its hot shoe on the camera body, becomes an awesome lighting tool, capable of almost any studio or location lighting application. Photographers around the world have discovered its powerful applications and extreme portability. 

Speedlites can be used with almost any light modifiers: umbrellas, softboxes, snoots, and scrims. Communication between the camera and flash is now wireless and easily accomplished, either with proprietor transmitters/receivers or inexpensive radio frequency units.

This is really a lighting class—using the Speedlite. We will explore classic lighting techniques, filling and flagging, colour gels, and a variety of light modifiers, as well as grip equipment.
