Photo Techniques with Joseph Sinnott

Learn simple flash tricks that make your pictures better with SVACE faculty member Joseph Sinnott. A variety of flash techniques will be described, including the use of diffusers, bounce, fill, slow sync and how to prevent red-eye. Even a little tracing paper over your pop-up flash makes the light softer and more flattering. The advantages of using reflectors outdoors and other photo tips and tricks will be discussed. This event will demonstrate things anyone can do to enhance their photographs regardless of their resources and level of knowledge. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A. Please come prepared to take notes. Moderated by Joseph Sinnot, Senior staff photographer, WNET / New York Public Media
