a Workshop with Jason Lau

Lighting for Family Photographers

Take control of your light and stop relying on perfect window light in your clients’ homes. Join us for a practical, hands-on workshop and learn how to use off-camera flash to create beautiful, natural-looking light wherever you’re shooting.

Jason will show you how to confidently use flash during family sessions in clients’ homes, as well as the techniques you’ll need if you’re starting to take on commercial work where off-camera lighting is essential. And yes, we’ll also cover the front-on flash look that all the cool kids are doing.

Led by Jason Lau, this three-hour hands-on workshop is designed for family photographers who want more confidence, consistency and creative control. There will be lots of time to ask questions and try things out. We have just 10 places available.

(We know Jason is the right person to teach this workshop because we’ve both learned SO much from him over the years).

Who is Jason?

Our good friend Jason Lau is a Melbourne-based commercial photographer with more than 15 years of experience creating fashion and lifestyle campaigns for local and global brands. Alongside his commercial work, Jason is a brand ambassador (we’ve lost track of how many big industry names, but he gets lots of free stuff) and lectures in photography at Collarts College. He’s an exceptional teacher who has helped photographers around Australia build confidence with lighting through practical, hands-on learning.

Who are Bec + Amy?

We’re Bec and Amy, long-time Melbourne-based family photographers who first met by mutually stalking each other in a hospital waiting room (we were both pregnant at the time). After awkwardly admitting it via Instagram, we became friends and later business partners, running a birth photography business together for several years.
These days, we both work independently as successful family photographers in Melbourne. We continue to challenge and support one another through the ever-changing world of family photography. Amy has an overabundance of ideas, while Bec has an unhealthy enjoyment of systems and admin. Somehow, it works.

This morning my six year old could not find her be This morning my six year old could not find her beloved mini photo album (which she needed for “star of the week” to show her classmates)… it’s bright red, so 🤷‍♀️ I had to dig in some of the loose photos I have printed so she had something - apparently I haven’t done that for a while as most of them did not include her (the youngest) 🤣 better print some more photos. I love albums but it can be helpful to have single images around for times like this haha. It also made me want to make a good old school slip in album for each of my girls… stay tuned.
Love a bushland session! For families wanting to b Love a bushland session! For families wanting to book and need an easy way to find a date please reach out and I’ll send you through my availability calendar which goes all the way through to January. I also have a pretty nifty location suggestion system that gives you a great big visual list of spots across Melbourne.
Happy four years guys! Some weddings stick with yo Happy four years guys! Some weddings stick with you. It was joy and chaos (and really rather a lot of people in a smallish space - I spent much of it as a short person squeezing in between people with camera up over my head) this wedding had the most amazing joyus peopley happy vibe. They threw a first birthday into the mix. Had no dedicated portrait session. Great food. Done deliberately well without crazy fuss. So good.

Remembering details to link is a smidge tricky without pulling up the old job but it was @zenalythgo.celebrant @mali_bakes and the job came via the generous @sppsimonpickeringphotography who has a knack for sending great clients my way 😆 thanks Simon!!
