I didn’t get to where I am without help; that’s why I want to pass along my knowledge to others. This workshop series is for anyone who wants to take their lighting to the next level. I love to explore lighting, and to experiment with new techniques and ideas to refine my craft and to create better images every time I pick up a camera. But I also love empowering photographers to build their self-confidence and their skills.
During our intensive hands-on workshop we will start off with one light in the morning and work our way up to four or five lights in the afternoon, while recreating some of my best images and improving new set-ups. We’ll practice with a professional model(s), problem solve, talk about modifiers, ratios, and post production. But most importantly, I want everyone to leave understanding why they would use each light, what happens to your look when you adjust the power of each light. At the and of the day we will go over what I do to achieve my look and style in Capture One. I also understand Lightroom so I can help with that too.
The workshops that take place in my Chicago studio will be an intimate two day experience with only three attendees. The second day will be a full day hands-on experience, plus an anonymous critique of everyone’s work. We will start off with me helping each attendee to create their vision and then in the afternoon, the class will work together as a group to recreate inspiration images with me assisting as needed. However, the workshops that take place in my Chicago studio will be an intimate two day experience with only three attendees.
Please bring your camera and be ready to shoot, as we’ll be taking turns and creating new content for our portfolios and feeds. If possible please bring a laptop or tablet for editing. When we’re all done, we can go to dinner, recap what you’ve learned, and talk about how to put these new skills to work!
