This is a very special stream. To mark International Women's Day 2023, Helen hosts a celebration of the incredible women in the Flash Masters community and the wider photography industry - bringing together four remarkable guests for a stream of stunning images, honest conversations, and genuine inspiration.

Aga from Pic-Time shares images from her own photography alongside insights into how over half of Pic-Time's team are women and what that means for the product they build. Moira La Plante share beautiful work and discusses their upcoming workshops. Amber Henry joins from Las Vegas and Tanya Parada wraps up the stream with her signature warm and creative approach.

Helen is brilliantly enthusiastic throughout, the community is full of love, and the stream ends with a genuinely moving tribute to everything these photographers contribute - not just to Flash Masters but to the whole industry.

A celebration from start to finish. 🎉

The top 5 things you will learn by watching this stream:

1. How Aga from Pic-Time came to photography and what drew her from engineering to a career behind the lens. Aga shares her journey: starting her photography business at 20, shooting weddings in Ireland for nine years before moving to California, and specialising in multicultural and Indian weddings - a story of resilience, adaptability, and genuine creative passion.
2. How Moira and Jesse La Plante approach creative flash photography across their diverse body of work. Moira shares images and discusses their approach, including astrophotography, wedding portraits, and the creative philosophy that runs through all of it.
3. How Amber Henry creates her distinctive colourful and vibrant flash portraits. Amber shares her approach to using colour and flash to produce images that burst with energy and talks about why teaching and community are just as central to her work as the photography itself.
4. How Tanya Parada uses flash as a creative accent in the beautiful California light. Tanya walks through her approach to using flash not to replace natural light but to enhance and add to it and shares the posing philosophy behind the genuine connection she captures in her work.
5. Why building communities that support and celebrate women in photography matters. The stream closes with a reflection on the importance of spaces like Amber's Females Who Flash group and Flash Masters itself - where women are celebrated, supported, and encouraged to show up fully and share their work.
