Vancouver Photo Workshops is very proud to have established local photographer Christopher Morris teach this unique workshop.

This workshop is designed to provide you with an advanced understanding of the practical and creative aspects of working on location with small portable lighting equipment.

This workshop is designed for all you Strobist's out there, looking not only to practice your skills in a professional environment but also to pick up additional tips and tricks that take your images to the next level.

We will concentrate on introducing you to the many options available when working with small strobes on location, whether indoors or outside. We'll cover technical concepts with a focus on the practical applications.

The workshop's main goal is to get you shooting as much as possible given practice is essential to advancing your skills. We'll shoot extensively on both Saturday and Sunday.

Look at the amazing feedback Christopher Morris received from his first ver workshop he taught for VPW:

"Best per moment workshop I have ever attended in photography. Chris has shown us not only what we should do, but also what we can do. CM has the ability to instruct, inspire and challenge, all in the same breath. The resources at VPW, coupled with the energy and experience of CM made for a educational experienced that was world class. No need to travel out of Vancouver to get a world class Editorial Lighting workshop. Back to the basics to take us forward and challenge us. I left the workshop not only seeing how to light at a higher standard, but I left knowing how to do it myself, with my own equipment."
