Mastering On-Camera Flash
2-Hour Beginner Workshop • 360ism Studios
Ready to stop your flash from “blowing out” faces or leaving everything flat and washed-out? In this fun, hands-on class we’ll show you how to turn the little light on (or atop) your camera into a simple, powerful tool for great photos—no tech jargon required.
What we’ll cover —in plain English
How a flash actually works and why it sometimes looks harsh
Quick settings that make people look natural, not shiny
Easy bounce tricks (walls, ceilings, even a notebook) to soften light
Balancing flash + room light so backgrounds don’t turn dark or orange
Creative effects like freezing motion or adding a little glow—no extra gear needed
Try-it-yourself stations with a model, so you leave with photos you’re proud of
Who it’s for
New shooters who mostly keep the flash closed because it feels scary
Anyone who photographs friends, family, parties, or small events
Creators who want better indoor shots without buying studio lights
Bring
Your camera (any brand, DSLR or mirrorless)
A clip-on flash if you have one—if not, we’ll loan you one
Charged battery, empty card, and your curiosity
You’ll leave with
Confidence to use your flash anytime you need it
A simple cheat-sheet you can tuck in your camera bag
A few polished images for your growing portfolio
