Excellent workshop! Definitely worth the drive to Atlanta. Neil, the light bulb is still coming on for so many of the concepts you taught. I must say the most valuable was understanding directional light. It’s making a huge difference in my work. I’m trying everything you taught, and getting great results. Thank you so much. Kim

The workshop in Atlanta was fantastic!! If you are serious about learning better lighting techniques then this workshop is a must. The combination of lecture and practical application was pefect for really reinforcing the different lighting scenarios and applications. I would attend this workshop again and again. That is how valuable the information was. Neil was a pleasure to work with and made sure that everybody was involved and understood the material. DO NOT miss this workshop. It is awesome!! thanks Neil

Charlou, here is a link that lists all the video clips that I’ve posted.
It’s most likely the video clip with the three models, or the video clip with Sarah and Mark.

Wow! You guys are amazing. After looking at the images from the workshop, I defintely need to cull out less worthy pieces in my headshot port to feature some of these. Which is uncommon… usually workshops are a study in technique and rarely are images portfolio quality. Although most of the language went totally over my head, I too learned from the workshop on positioning for different lighting scenarios.

Thank you again and may you all be blessed with “Good Hair” days:)

Dan .. thank you for the lovely compliments!

Re your take on the settings:
You have it there. It’s a matter of juggling the settings like that. Sometimes one setting would be a specific choice, but another time it would be something else making another setting the one we’d want to be specific about. Your thought-process there is spot-on then.
