How to light difficult venues and locations with Rocio Vega
Never fear difficult venues again! We are joined from Spain by Rocio Vega, who very kindly shares how she uses off-camera lighting to make beautiful and impactful documentary photographs in the most difficult venues and locations
Rocio Vega shares how she uses off-camera lighting to transform even the most difficult of venues
One of the biggest challenges we face as wedding photographers is taking beautiful photographs in difficult venues. Whether it be small space, lack of light, horrible colour casts, difficult venues can make our job so much harder. Especially for documentary photographs when we aren't in control of where the moments will happen.
In this stream we are joined from Spain by incredibly wedding photographer, and Flash Masters Ambassador, Rocio Vega, who very kindly talks us through, with practical advice, how she uses flash and off-camera lighting to create stunning documentary photographs in even the most difficult of venues.
This stream is full of absolute gold. Rocio's images are images are stunning, but they are made all the more special when you see the locations which they were taken in - including outdoor reception lighting completely at night. You will soon see why Rocio has won over 40 Fearless awards!
Rocio shares lots of behind the scenes of the exact setups and equipment she uses to light venues and locations which would make natural light photographers run away in fear!
We cannot thank Rocio enough for sharing so much invaluable advice with us in this stream. We are honoured to have her in the Flash Masters community.

I was a black and white analog film lover. The digital world that was just beginning and was still far from my dream of becoming an architect photographer.I accidentally became a wedding videographer, carrying a heavy camera. I disliked those two years, but they showed me what I didn’t want to do. After living in Madrid for five years, I moved to a smaller city to pursue my passion for photography. In 2004, I started my own company, I shot four weddings with my Canon Rebel 300D, . I wanted to avoid the typical posed portraits in familiar locations. Instead, I explored sunflower fields and rural areas. Within a few years, other photographers began to copy my style and locations. This motivated me to return to the city and start shooting on the streets. In 2011 I shot my first destination wedding in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, and I knew I had found my passion. Destination weddings are extraordinary, it´s more about a whole experience. Between 3 to 5 days, you get to know everyone and feel all the small quiet moments that often tell most powerful stories.At some point, I realized it's not only about techniques. I have lived strong experiences that have changed my life and helped me grow as a human and photographer. Those experiences have influenced my photography. Our lens speaks about our lives. The path of knowing myself is the path of finding my voice, and my style. Through my experiences, my photography has evolved, and now my photography is the path of my life.I experience life with great intensity. My emotions are heightened, and as an empathetic individual, I am deeply aware of the feelings of others. I embrace each moment passionately and strive to highlight the unique experiences that life offers to those around me.As a divorced mother I get to spend fully half time with my son, and enjoy every moment I have with him, while the other half of my time I can travel the world to fulfill my mission.My mission is to document the subtle, often overlooked moments, allowing people to revisit and experience those emotions whenever desired. I aim to share my unique perspective as they navigate their own moments.I dedicate my full passion to everything I do.
