Building on the basics from part 1, this session will focus on flash photography.

When LEDs first came on the scene, they were great for what they were initially intended: Video production. Sure, we used them occasionally, but Flash was always the answer on a serious set. Things have changed significantly in the last 10 years; not only are LEDs powerful and color-correct, but some also feature RGBW capabilities. Does Flash still have an advantage? What is it?
