Class Description

I will demonstrate how to use off camera flash to help create scroll stopping fitness images. I will show you how to create images with 1, 2 or 3 lights. You will learn how grids help control the light. How gels can add a unique look to your images and how different angles can make or break your images. I will show you how I build a shot light by light in a live demonstration.

  • Master how to create fitness images using 1, 2, or 3 off-camera lights.

  • Learn to control and shape light using grids, gels, and intentional angles.

Joe Baker

Hi, I’m Joe Baker, a portrait photographer based in Texas. I focus on high school and college graduates, model and fitness portfolios, professional headshots, and family photos. Using off‑camera flash lets me unleash my creativity and helps my images standout from the crowd. Besides taking photos, I also run workshops, mentor, and educate photographers who want to elevate their craft. My goal is to help everyone be at their best whether they are in front of my camera or if I am teaching another photographer.
