Hi guys,

I just did a photo session a week ago and would like to share the images with you. The interesting thing here is that for this shots I used only Canon speedlits. Oh the link bellow you can find some behind the scene video and also diagram of the lighting setup for whoever is interested in this aspect.

I love my strobe but; speedlights are pretty fantastic and I find cover most things I need. Great examples!

Not sure I'd call speedlites inexpensive.

It does demonstrate that knowledge, experience and insight is key to creative production.

The specific lights are irrelevant. Its how they are applied to creating the picture.

Did you read the OP's blog post and what that video.
Very useful self instruction info between the two.

Thanks for the replys guys.
I'm actually planning to start organizing a flash lighting photography workshops in my area, London. I'm still in the process of organizing the structure as I really like to teach very helpful and cool stuff. My understanding of lighting objects is heavily influenced by my 3D work I'm doing, when you are working or studying 3d you need to recreate the real life physical lighting with all of it's characteristic so it kind of brings you more in depth to what and how the light works in physical therm.
Although I mentioned, above, flashlight workshops the main principle are all the same and can be applied to any kind of strobes, because the main object actually will be the light itself, the strobes, with it's own characteristics will be the second.
Anyway as I mentioned I really want to create a unique and very cool experience that will help lots of new photographers understand how to use, in full capacity, all the tools they'll need on the field to help them unleash their full creative potential.

Thanks.
Nik ;)
