Does the thought of off-camera light fill you with dread?

shooting in the dark terrifies you

As a Natural Light photographer, I always tried to avoid the use of off camera speed-lights because the whole concept seemed much too daunting!! On-camera flash was enough, even if it wasn't perfect - it was ALL I could do in the situation! Can you relate?

Do you dread weddings after daylight savings when it's DARK AT 5 PM?!
Are you using the RIGHT flashes to light up that large reception area?
Do you struggle with SPARKLER EXITS?


FEAR NOT!

I'M giving you my roadmap to success in off-camera lighting!

Hi There! I'm Ashley and let me tell you my secret. I never knew I wanted to be a wedding photographer. I actually studied my booty off to earn a Bachelors degree in Nursing but realized I could make more money, spend more time with my family (READ: Work Less - Play More) being my own boss as a photographer. So I created my wedding photography company! Bow Tie Collaborative! A few years ago I was flying by the seat of my pants without much of a clue as to where my business was going. Now, I’d like to think I’ve figured it out and I want to help you get there, too!

I create products for people who are yearning to take their business to the next level. For people who are struggling with a cohesive and professional brand and who have a desire to work smarter! It’s my goal to help other creative entrepreneurs grow their business and equip them with the right tools to have a successful business!

When I’m not busy creating and motivating other creatives, you can catch me spending time with my adorable husband and two cute kiddos!

I hope you decide to stick around because I have so much more to share! XO

This is a fantastic guide. Rather than so many books which baffle and intimidate with technical jargon, Ashley has explained off-camera lighting in a simple and easy to understand way. She inspires confidence with her real-life, inspiration examples! Very pleased with my purchase and look forward to seeing more guides from her!

Suzanne

I read this guide all the way through and found it easy to understand and process. I was very intimidated to start using off camera lighting and after reading this I feel that I can absolutely do it! It was full of great examples and the diagrams were a huge plus for a visual leaner such as myself. Thank you for putting all this into an easy to digest guide! I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with off camera lighting!

Don

I have a very good understanding of composition and posing but not necessarily of the physics behind off camera lighting...I found this guide incredibly helpful! Using diagrams she illustrates her lighting concepts and includes lots of real wedding examples. Ashley is a great teacher and as a bonus, she gives you her gear and setting on lots of examples. I highly  recommend this guide!

becca

I fell in love with her Master Guide to Shooting Details, so was thrilled to learn about her Guide to Off-Camera Lighting! It did not disappoint! I appreciate the tone of this guide and her straightforward approach. Ashley's, How I do It Guide, is also an invaluable resource for many wedding day scenarios. Excellent read!
