Online video class: Portraits with on-camera speedlight

July 24, 2014 Neil vN 7 Comments

Online video class: Portraits with on-camera speedlight

There have been many requests for a video tutorial series or a kind of online workshop of the articles on the Tangents website. Working in conjunction with Craftsy – a company that produces professional looking online video tutorials on a number of topics – we created two video classes.

The first class is Portraits with On-Camera Speedlight, and the follow-up class is a natural extension of that: Off-Camera Flash Photography.

The online classroom has a platform where anyone who is subscribed can ask questions. So it is an interactive method, and not just a static video-only class. There is also no time limit on this, so you can watch it anywhere, any time.

    Looks like a great course. You have so much helpful information here! I will definitely be interested in your next offering as I need some pointers and practice with using off camera flash.

    By the way, thank you for the compliment on my work today. I’m not sure how you found my little old photography site, but you certainly made my day!

    Just purchased your video on Crafty, and it is Awesome. The video production value is first rate. Long before Phlearn and Creativelive, you were sharing your talent and gift as a photographer and retoucher to us young newbies daily. After all these years, I still check out your tangent blog to find out the latest photo gear, and see your stunning photographs. Looking forward to seeing the off camera flash video next month. Much success on this endeavor, and all that you do Neil.

    Here is the Roadmap for Getting “Predictable Fantastic Portraits” with On-Camera Flash

    Neil focuses his photographic, teaching and interpersonal skills to provide the closest thing to attending a Neil Van Niekerk workshop. Neil creates an enjoyable easy to follow course that results in solid learning. After completing the class, you will be surprised how Niel shines the light on getting the most out of your speedlight and moving you a step closer to getting “Predictable Fantastic Portraits.” And by the way, if you want a refresher you can always go back and listen to the video again.
