Studio Lighting Workshop | June 19th, 2021
On Saturday, June 19th, come join me for an afternoon of hands-on learning with studio strobes and light modifiers. This workshop is really more “play” than work as we will spend a large portion of the time actually shooting with studio lights and getting to try out a wide variety of modifiers. This is a great opportunity to gain experience with different types of light shaping tools which will help you to find what works best for your style of photography.

During the live shooting portion of the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to try out various modifiers on the same subject. This is a great way to see the differences and qualities of light that the various sizes, shapes, and designs of a softbox and/or reflector will render. Students are encouraged to bring their cameras to participate in the live shooting portion of the workshop.
I believe that a good headshot shows what a person looks like but a great headshot will show you who they really are. Getting the best expression from your subject and most often the key is getting the subject comfortable and relaxed. Everyone’s approach to building a rapport will be different but becoming skilled at this is just as important as getting the technical aspects correct.
These sessions will be interactive and participants will have the chance to shoot with our models (and/or their fellow participants) during the session. I encourage attendees to bring their cameras along but recommend shooting with my camera as it will already be tethered. Tethering is an important part of my workflow for headshots so this is why I recommend we use my camera so we don’t have to worry about setting up everyone’s cameras separately.
This Sunday, Dec 13th, I will be running a promotion with my friends over at Eskew Studios where I am offering “mini” headshot sessions for just $40.00 a pop. These sessions will be short, 15 minute blocks of pure headshot work. Since time will be short and space limited, I’m going to ask that clients show up ready to jump in front of the camera. This shouldn’t be an issue and I’ve done sessions for groups with only a few minutes with each client, but I still want to get the most time I can with each subject.
