Who said flash portraits had to be complicated?
With our brand new ebook, Fast FLASH, they don’t have to be!
Talented and world-renowned photographer, Gina Milicia, has been using flash lighting techniques in her portraits for over 25 years – photographing a-list celebrities, heads of state… even royalty.
Now in this follow up to her best-selling ‘Portraits’ ebook series (Making the Shot, Striking the Pose, Lighting the Shot and After the Shot), she’s sharing all her best flash lighting secrets, tips and techniques.
With her practical, easy-to-understand advice, you’ll be shooting AMAZING flash headshots and portraits in no time at all.
And studio-quality results don’t necessarily require high-end gear, either. In fact, most of Gina’s examples in the ebook were shot using a budget lighting kit!

This 125-page ultimate how-to guide takes away the guesswork and will give you the skills and confidence to create the light you need with absolutely stunning results!
