Rich Smith has been a professional wedding photographer since 2007, and expanded into commercial photography in 2016 — a shift that pushed him to master off‑camera lighting. Today, he’s proficient in capturing people and food with flash, using a streamlined, portable approach. In this workshop, Rich will share what he’s learned to help you take the mystery out of lighting and make it a tool you can use with confidence.
