Intro to Studio Strobe Photography at Studio 701

In order to prepare for your first time in Studio 701, we offer this course to get you familiar with how it works and how to make good use of our lights. The cost is $20, and registration is on the Classes page. Bring your camera, and bring a friend if you’d like to get in a few test shots! This quick class will be offered once every month or two.
You will learn:
How to set up your camera and connect
How many lights to use and how to position them
How and why to adjust power levels
