In this lighting seminar weekend class I focus on beginning, intermediate, and advanced ways of shooting with a regular Nikon and Canon flash. We will cover how to wirelessly shoot and also the best ways to shoot with the flash on top of your camera. On the first day we will no only talk about ways to shoot with our external flashes to reach the desired effect, but we will also have models that we go out and shoot indoors, outdoors, and on scene with. On the 2nd day we talk about shooting indoors and at night. During this class we will be shooting in the studio and then later that night, we will be doing a shoot outdoors at night (after 8pm-optional). This Class is basically a comprehensible seminar on how to deal with flash in almost any lighting challenge and styles that come your way.

This class is structured to be a “working class”. For those who take this class, I expect that you have enough photos to make a book and can present them by the time the class has started. We will make a book (or start to) in this class and help each other with good bookmaking resources, a different lens, and guidance on how to structure your book for what ever purposes you are interested in. In this class we will look at many photography books and talk about what makes a successful photography book. Whether you are making a vacation book, a memories book, fine art portfolio , commercial portfolio, or strictly promotional materials this class is here to help you format it, edit it, and make it the strongest possible presentation to date.

Critique, discussion, and education are all simple parts of developing your language of photography. In this four class session, it will be hands on in developing a portfolio/project about your desired interests. Each class will critique new work each session and help you clarify what you want to say with your photos. We will also look at other photographers similar to you and of interest. We will develop connections and help each other on shoots if need be and I will be here to teach you through your shoots if there are issues. This class is perfect for all ages and all purposes (portfolio development/fine art project/book/experience /ect..) Last but not least, after this class is over, we will farm out and look for galleries and applications to display your work.
