Learn to Create the Light YOU Want in Any Situation, Every Time You Shoot
This full day workshop will introduce you to lighting by learning the basics and then working with the tools of the trade to make the images you see in your head. We start with basics and move through the amazing world of lighting. We aren’t interested in auto settings, or sticking a flash on your camera and clicking away. We do it with manual strobes, manual settings and attention to detail that is the mark of a professional photographer.
Simple Tools: Great Light
Look, having the coolest strobes on the planet is, well, cool. But it doesn’t mean that you must have that gear to make great photos. Light is light. If you know how to light and how to use light, you can use a Home Depot work light and a shower curtain, or an old flash you bought off of Ebay and a cheap umbrella, or even the sun bounced into a car window shade for fill. I am not making that up, I do all of that and more.
Sure, there are times when you need the big guns, and we teach you what to do when you use them. If you know how, you can always rent some big ol’ killer strobes when you need that power. But in my workshop, we focus on making light work for you.
Less Me, More You - Less Bluster, More Shooting
If you have ever attended a workshop where the presenter went on and on about how cool it was being them. And who they shot when. And all the cool people they hang out with… you are gonna be shocked at this one. We talk about light. We do light. We make light… pictures… we shoot. We light some more and we shoot some more. If you want to talk about me, we go out afterwards and you buy me a Corona. I’ll tell you all you want to know and more… but when you are paying me to learn to light… we’re gonna learn to light!
