Hello!
Our seminar for March booked up so quickly, that we had to schedule another one for May.
This is my Studio Lighting and Posing Seminar. This is a two day Saturday and Sunday event on May 2 & 3, 2009. It covers a huge variety of topics so I hope you will take a moment to fully read the info that follows.
If you are a lighting and posing beginner or have been frustrated or dissapointed with your results, then this is the opportunity to learn how easy lighting and posing can be.
On Saturday morning I will teach you how studio lights work, how they are used and how to control them with ease. The frustrating experimentation is finally over and you can get it right in the camera.
Creating perfect hair light is easy so if you've had a hard time with it, that's about to change.
Lighting for digital photography need never be difficult.
I will teach you various portrait lighting patterns. These are the lighting arrangements that give us specific portrait looks. THERE WILL BE LOTS OF HANDS ON LEARNING!
YOUR EXPERIENCE LEVEL MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.
In the afternoon, we move on to taking meter readings for perfect exposures. We will also eliminate confusing ratios such as 3 to 1 and replace them with an ultra simple and reliable method.
You will also learn how easy it is to use color gels and smoke effects to create exciting hair light, background effects and other dramatic lighting techniques.
I will also show you how easy it is to create beautiful window light portraits with very little equipment and if time and conditions permit, I will show you how to find beautiful light outdoors even when conditions are not the best.
Very limited seating so please register
early if you wish to attend. 1-800-853-1190
Posing is what most photographers feel the greatest need for help with. I will teach you the essential elements for head and shoulders portraits, full length portraits and even beautiful profile lighting. You will learn the dos and don’ts of posing couples. I will also show you many common mistakes that photographers make and how easy it is to avoid them. We will deal with arms, hands, fingers, legs, noses, glasses, baldness, couple poses, head tilts and eye positions.
Family and group posing need not be difficult. I will show you how easy it is to put family and other types of groups together with ease. Lighting the family is easy IF you know how to do it the easy way. Even hair light for a family is a breeze! Come and learn.
In the late afternoon, we will put students into small groups to create a portrait concept with creative lighting, posing and expression. I will evaluate each group’s work and point out the positives and what might have been done differently. This is a very enjoyable activity with competition between the groups.
On Sunday, we begin with wedding photography where I will teach on many aspects of how difficult situations can be eliminated and stress removed. I will also teach on business as well as a variety of posing dos and don’ts and creative ideas for wedding photography.
We will have FREE educational handouts for everyone.
The next presentation will be on the subject of Boudoir or Glamour photography. I will discuss the benefits and misconceptions about this very profitable and rewarding style of image making. Unusual posing and lighting styles are shown and many insights are discussed to help photographers better understand this profitable facet of professional photography.
Our final presentation is called “Add Excitement and Profit to Your Studio”. It covers a wide range of topics that help today’s photographer advance both artistically and financially. For many, the highlight of this program is the extensive section on making your own creative backgrounds for little or no money. Photographers are surprised at how simple it is to make many different kinds of interesting and beautiful backgrounds.
Photographers leave the seminar excited with a wealth of truly usable information.
