Basic Details 2012 - 2 day Workshops

At this point I see a small number of photographers who are doing everything they can to change up their game and give themselves the edge they need to rise above the average body of work. Some of you understand that hard work, value to your client, and continued creativity will give you staying power and the ability to raise the price of your work to where it should be.

Clients now understand that using a cheap photographer is not worth the money they saved and are looking for someone who can provide them with professional results and a relationship they can come back to again and again. Are you that photographer? Are you that business person?

If you are ready to give a boost to your work, jump start your business, or just add some great tools like lighting and solid composition to your kit, this is the workshop for you. But one important thing to note, this is not some program for success. Leave the Tony Robbins stuff at home, get out in the field and learn to master the techniques required to create repeatable results, marketable imagery, and consistent creativity.


Full details will be given closer to the workshop dates.
Again you will have to register for the workshop and a deposit of 50% (of total $472.50 for the two days) will be required. Details of who models and location are always based on the class and weather a few weeks before. Participants are put into realistic situations and forced to be creative all while being in a no pressure client / photographer environment.


The workshop is a long day starting with a few hours of classroom understanding of basic lighting, preplanning, reverse engineering of lighting concepts, emulation, and developing ones own creative view point. We also discuss the types of equipment available, pros and cons of each, modifiers and their effective use, and how to deal with the worst conditions possible. Participants then go straight into the locations and begin working with their models to put our technical "baselines" into use. The day ends with a sunset and or dramatic skies session where they will have full reign of their new creative tools.


Available dates and additional details will be sent to the first 8 interested photographers (per class) for the next workshops. Please contact me through my website contact page with your regular email address to be put on the list
