Step outdoors and take full control of your light at the Outdoor Off-Camera Flash Masterclass, hosted by Photofreedom Durban North and presented by Nikon South Africa.
Led by Nikon Influencer Sherwin Pather, this immersive masterclass is designed for photographers who want to elevate their portrait photography by mastering flash in natural environments.
