The final series of flash photography workshops for 2009 took place in Texas, with two dates there. It’s been a wild ride this year, presenting a total of 24 workshops across the USA .. and in addition to that maintaining a full schedule as a wedding photographer here in NJ. The workshop format and material have constantly been adapted and changed and improved. Even the gear that I bring with me to the workshops have been adapted and improved. The response I get during and after the workshops have been so positive that, even now at the end of this year’s workshops, it just leaves me energised for next year.
This image is from the workshop in Austin .. the very energetic Juliana, as photographed by Emil Harsa. This is from the section of the workshop where we worked with speedlights and softboxes outside. But this time we were working on the edge of the sidewalk, huddled against the side of the building to avoid the cold gusty wind .. and I thought I had left that behind in New Jersey! But still … a huge amount of fun!
Thank you to everyone who attended the workshops in Dallas and Austin, and thank you to our models.
Here is a report by Lynn Michelle on the workshop.
Thanks again Neil for all your wisdom and guidance. I had a great time in Dallas and learned a ton. Your workshop is so worth the money and travel time, and if anyone is on the fence about attending all I can say is “just do it”. Regards, Tricia B

Neil, Thanks for a great learning experience at the Austin workshop. I just shot my first event this past Saturday. I used your methods and they paid off nicely. I enjoyed the workshop so much I will attend antoher the next time your in Texas. I love the airborne Juliana pic shot by Emil – awesome! Wish I had shot it, but I’m confident I now could using what I learned in your workshop.
Cheers!

All I can say is WOW! Thanks a lot Neil! That was the best investment I’ve made in my photography career. I took the class on Tuesday and applied what I learned the following Saturday. http://picasaweb.google.com/brian.hurdle/AriLauraTeasers?authkey=-fV6wkyUKQ8# I would have never been able to do this without your instruction. AWESOME!
