How do you separate your work from the pack? Do you want to break down the barriers that are keeping your photography from standing out? In the last five years, flash manufacturers have added some incredible technology to their strobes. Michael has been working with these new flash technologies for more than seven years and has even helped perfect the technology. High Speed Sync and Hi-Sync (HS) allow us to freeze action like never before, light subjects from ridiculous distances, and easily create lit portraits with incredibly shallow depth of field. In short, we can create images that were never possible before.

Designed for intermediate to experienced photographers, this 5-day workshop concentrates on creating unique images using cutting-edge lighting technology. Working with elite athletes, dancers and models both in the studio and out on location, we aim to create images that are not easy to duplicate. Topics covered during the week include high speed sync flash techniques, multiple exposure flash techniques, freezing motion, stroboscopic lighting, advanced portrait lighting, motion blur and rear curtain strobe techniques, and mixing continuous lighting with strobes.

Classroom time includes daily editing, group critiques, and one-on-one meetings with Michael. In addition, Michael shares his insights and experiences in the photo industry, including career development, portfolios, and how to shoot for editorial and commercial clients.
