I’ve attended so many workshops in the past and watched online training that is ego driven and shows you amazing shots, but they are never in reach as they don’t show you the creative process and foster a deep understanding of the techniques. Flashmasters is so different, down to earth, and delivered in a way that makes understanding easy. If I can do it, you can too. Thank you for demystifying OCF, and for reigniting my creativity, and I can't wait to work through all the rest of the tutorials!

Flash Masters is the community that you've been looking for! It's a community filled with heart and passion for flash photography, and for building friendships with other photographers. Not only do they provide opportunities for competition, but their education and the community they have built are so helpful and supportive. If you are a flash expert, looking to grow your skills or even if you are a beginner looking for help navigating the world of flash photography this is the place for you!

Flashmasters is a breath of fresh air.  Neil & Helen are dedicated to their craft and you can tell they totally commited to provide the best education possible to members.  I’ve been blown away at the quality of work displayed in the competitions and it’s always nice to get recognition from like-minded peers.

Flash Masters is a top-tier platform for testing your flash photography skills against the world's best. Beyond competition, it serves as a rich source of inspiration and learning. Earning awards has become increasingly challenging, reflecting the community's growth and collective learning. This site fosters an encouraging atmosphere and I'm thrilled to be a part of it. The talent showcased from around the globe is truly impressive!

Flash Masters is a great community, full of resources for photographers. My favourite part of being a member is the bi-monthly awards, It's always inspiring to see which photos have made the collection, and especially rewarding when your own images get selected for an award.

It's rare to find an online community that not only offers top tier education, but also the support and encouragement you need when learning and growing. But Flash Masters manages to check all the boxes! The wealth of knowledge contained within the member community is staggering, with everyone from the founders to ambassadors to new members sharing tips and tricks to take flash photography to the next level. Flash Masters is an invaluable resource!

Wow!  How much has Flash Masters transformed my work? I have gone from a 'standard' natural light photographer to being able to offer my clients 'vibrant and dynamic' imagery regardless of situations with dark lighting or poor weather.  I am also now able to give my clients something unique for their wall thanks to learning the use of creative gels and other techniques taught in the group and this is making me stand out in a saturated market. Thank you soooo much for allowing me to be part of this community!

Despite being a successful wedding photographer for over 10 years, flash photography has never been my forte. I was made aware of Flash Masters when the community started through a fellow photographer. Intrigued, I decided to sign up for a year. That provided to be a great decision! Flash Masters is a great community and resource for both experienced flash photographers and beginners alike. It’s a super friendly community, with great resources and training content. I’ve loved being a member and have signed up again for another year.

Being a member of the incredible Flash Masters community has been so worthwhile, there’s nowhere better to master your flash! Loads of interesting and fun education from some of the world’s best flash photographers; the opportunity to enter the awards; for me though it’s been the community itself, it’s such a friendly and approachable group of people. I have no problem asking questions or sharing images amongst this group of super talented photographers!!

Flash Masters is more than a showcase, it's more than awards. Flash Masters is a community that encourages and supports strobists of all levels of proficiency. Come for the eye candy (haha!) and stay for the educational content, the inspiration, and the collective true personal experience of what it means to be part of Flash Masters!

I live in Hawaii so attending the live sessions can be challenging with the time difference to jolly olde England, but I have to say I really enjoy all the ones I am able to be there for. The education and camaraderie is second to none, I enjoy seeing all the "wow factor" images and how they were created and always look forward to seeing and chatting with a group I have come to see as my international "tribe"!

For over a year now, I've been inspired by Neil's work and tutorials, and admiring the Flash Master award photos I've seen time and again. I just signed up for Flash Master's formally, and have already gotten a TONNE of knowledge and motivation from the group, and Neil and Helen in particular. Fantastic investment for any serious photographer!

I joined Flash Masters right at its creation because I was very uncomfortable with knowing how to use flash. I love the look and creative freedom it gives me to create for my couples. There are a lot of "courses" and resources out there, but NOTHING like Flash Masters. The FM community is absolutely amazing. I wouldn't have the confidence and friendships I have today without them.

Flash Masters has been such an amazing place to learn. The community is super supportive, and everyone’s always willing to help out. In my first year as a member, I learned so much—it’s honestly incredible. I started using off-camera flash techniques that I never would’ve known about otherwise, and I owe a lot of my growth and success to what I’ve learned through Flash Masters.

Flash Masters is a one of a kind community! It combines Education, Creativity, Awards, and so much more! I seriously get excited with every interview, BTS, and awards collection that Flash Masters releases because I know I will end up with some inspiration to take away from it.
