Recommended!
I highly recommend this course for those starting out with off-camera flash. Bernie has excellent knowledge and walks you through the process of setting up off-camera flash so you feel confident trying it yourself. I am new to speedlights and triggers, but everything he taught felt within my grasp because it was stepped out and logically organized. I enjoy Bernie's relaxed style and humor...he makes learning fun. He is also quick to respond to questions, which I appreciate very much.

A brilliant course.
Enigmatic and enthusiastic presenter, great depth of knowledge and really useful practical examples of how to apply the theory. I have been inspired by Bernie and already put some of his teaching to good use. Highly recommended.

Bernie Raffe's Course is not a Flash in the Pan
Great information, very well presented. The presenter has a very relaxed style as if he's talking to friends instead of strangers. The information he teaches is detailed and extremely useful. All things considered, this is an excellent course that I recommend to anyone just starting to use flash

Another Home Run!
Thank you once again Bernie. Nothing better in book or video exists in my opinion. A lot of fun to watch. Just wonderful.

Best Flash Course
This is by far the best photography course I have completed on Udemy. The live workshops are priceless. I have paid much more for courses that are inferior to this one.
