SPEEDLIGHTS SIMPLIFIED
What if you could master your speedlight in a single weekend—and never fear your flash unit again?
In Speedlights Simplified you’ll learn a simple, easy to follow framework to create natural, beautiful lighting for your everyday photos, —all minus the techy jargon and overwhelm!
Dull overcast days, dim indoor lighting at night, or shadows in all the wrong places can make capturing the perfect shot feel impossible. That’s where your speedlight comes in!
A speedlight is like having a tiny lighting assistant in your camera bag that lets you take control of the light instead of waiting for the stars (or rather, the sun!) to align. Consider it your portable window of light that you can adjust to suit any situation 🙏
Want to brighten your subject in a gloomy room? Done ✅
Light up a room without sacrificing the cozy ambiance? Easy 😌
Fix that harsh backlight so your photos look dreamy, not like an accidental silhouette? You’ve got it 👏
The best part? You don’t need a studio, fancy setups, or a PhD in physics to make it work.
With just a little know-how (well hello there, Speedlight Simplified), you can take control of your lighting, ditch the grainy photos, and finally capture the images you’ve been dreaming of.
In fact, maybe you've already bit the bullet and got yourself a Speedlight, convinced it was the missing puzzle piece that would help you get beautifully lit photos of your everyday situations, even in low light.....
But now? It’s sitting in your camera bag, gathering dust because...
😎 You’ve tried using it, but every photo screams, “Hey, I used flash!” instead of giving that beautiful, natural look that keeps the mood and vibe of the scene.
🪄 You’ve poked every button on your speedlight, hoping one might say “magic fix here” (spoiler alert: it doesn’t).
😡 You’ve Googled “how to use a speedlight” only to drown in technical jargon that makes you want to chuck it out the nearest window.
😵 You’ve slogged through tutorials that feel more like science class—should you really need a math degree for this?! (eh, no)
🔦 You’re tired of your flash images looking like an overexposed crime scene instead of the soft, polished photos you envisioned.
⏰ You want to use your speedlight to capture your family and everyday moments, so you just need a get-it-done-quick guide to using your speedlight, not a full blown six week course on how to use it for weddings or in a studio.
Instead, imagine...

HI! I'M AUDREY ANN!
I’ve been a photographer for 17 years and a photography educator for more than a decade, helping over 6,000 students go from “Help, what do all these buttons do?!” to confidently snapping photos they love.
Let me tell you a little secret—I’ve been where you are. I got so fed up with my low light photos llooking like they were shot through a dusty old window that I bought a speedlight, thinking it’d be my magic wand.
But instead of being the secret weapon I thought it would, it sat in my bag, because I couldn't figure out how to use it! And every guide I tried just made my brain hurt with math or buried me in details that as a hobbyist, I didn’t need.
With Speedlight Secrets, I've created the get-er-done-quick guide I wished I had: one that skips the complicated fluff and gets straight to the good stuff 😄
My goal? To make learning your speedlight so easy (and get photos that make you do a happy dance, even in low light) that you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it!

Not at all! This guide is designed specifically for hobbyists who are starting out with their speedlight. I break everything down into simple, easy-to-follow steps, with over-the-shoulder demos to show you exactly what to do. No tech jargon or intimidating math equations—just practical tips you can use right away.
You'll need a on-camera flash unit such as a Nikon or Canon Speedlight, or an off brand alternative. Ideally you want a flash unit that can swivel the head so you can direct the light, and that uses eTTL/TTL for easy use between your camera and the flash unit. But don't worry, we cover all of this in the course.
I hear you—speedlights can feel overwhelming! That’s why I created this guide to be refreshingly simple. You’ll get short, focused videos that walk you through exactly what you need to know, no fluff or filler. Plus, my framework makes it easy to repeat the process every time, so you’ll never feel stuck or unsure of what to do next. Remember, this guide isn't for those wishing to learn EVERYTHING about their speedlight, instead, we cover just the basics so you can be off and running quickly.
Unfortunately not! Pop up flash is best avoided as it points a blast of light directly at your subject, and you can't control the intensity or direction of light that is crucial. So you'll need an on-camera flash unit that has TTL (like AUTO for flash!) and has the ability to swivel the head (so you can "bounce" the flash) as you'll need these to get the best results!
Although we cover a variety of common situations, like fill light, adding light to dark scenes and shooting with backlight, we don't cover using flash off camera, or using it manually. Consider this your “get ‘er done” quick guide to using flash, rather than a full on program.
I totally get that time is precious! That’s why this product is designed to be quick and actionable. You can get through the videos showing you the key principles in around 90 minutes. You'll then move onto the step by step guides for using flash in a variety of situations. Although the videos themselves will only take about 40 minutes to watch, because we recommend that you get in there and try each one, I would allow a whole afternoon or weekend to get through the training and practice everything.
Although you don’t need to have any experience in using flash, you will need to understand exposure, and how to shoot in manual mode! For that reason, this guide isn’t suitable for those just getting started with photography, or who need help with their camera settings, as we don’t cover those basics in this guide. (Just flash!)
This guide was created with hobbyists in mind. Whether you’re capturing family moments, travel photos, or just want to up your photography game, this is for you. If you intend to become a large scale wedding photographer, I would recommend that you take a full course on how to use flash, as you are likely to need more than one flash, and use masters and slaves, which we don't cover here!
As soon as you join us, you get instant access to all the modules and lessons, so you can roll up your sleeves and get started today!
Because this is a short, digital course packed with trainings and downloads, refunds are only offered if you feel it didn’t deliver on the promises outlined on the sales page. If that’s the case, just let me know within 7 days of purchase why it didn’t meet your expectations, and I’ll issue a refund!
You'll get "lifetime" access to the course content. To be clear, this is not your lifetime or my lifetime - it's the lifetime of the program! If we do ever decide to retire the program, you'll get plenty of notice and be able to download ALL of the course materials, including the videos, so they are always yours to keep!
Speedlights Simplified is a self-study program, so I'm afraid we won't be able to give you assistance. However, in the course you will find our Troubleshooting Guide and FAQ Hub so it's highly likely that your question is already covered! Plus our community is the perfect place to ask questions too, and get help and advice from your peers (Audrey checks in a few times a week too!)
As soon as you checkout you get instant access to the entire program immediately in our online course portal! We'll also send you a confirmation email, with a link to the course portal, so you can log back in at any time.
