photography workshops & seminars 2013

photography workshops & seminars for 2013

Denver, CO – June 30, 2013 (Sunday)

I will be in Denver, Colorado at the end of June. If there is enough interest, we can do a workshop on June 30th (Sunday).

Similar to the New York workshops, these will be limited to 10 people, and there will be 2 models. For more details about the topics that will be covered, check the info page on the  full-day workshops on on-location lighting in New York. The fee for the workshop is $600

I would need a minimum of 6 people (out of a max of 10), to make this workshop viable. So in order to gauge interest (and commitment) of anyone interested, I’m going to try something that’s perhaps a little unusual – if by May 15th there are a minimum of 6 people who pay a deposit of $200, then the workshop will go ahead. If not, everyone will get a full immediate refund on their deposits. E-mail me if you’re interested.

 

New York workshop dates for 2013

The full-day workshops on on-location lighting in New York, will be held on the following dates:

May 21, 2013 (Tuesday)  -  NYC  -  3 spots still open
July 16, 2013 (Tuesday)  -  NYC
Oct 22, 2013 (Tuesday)  -  NYC – coinciding with PDN Photo Plus Expo

These workshops will each be limited to 10 people, and there will be two models available. I do want to give everyone as much individual attention, hence the limit in class size.

 

individual workshops & tutoring sessions

If none of the dates (and places) suit your schedule, I do offer individual photography workshops, as well as tutoring sessions which can be in person at my studio in NJ, or via Skype.

flash photography workshop – Amsterdam, Netherlands

July 22, 2012

flash photography workshop - Amsterdam, Netherlands – July 22, 2012

With my daughter, Janine, done with high school and ready to enter university, I thought it might be a great time for a kind of road trip for the two of us. One last time to hang out together before she leaves the house. There was just this small window now in July where both our schedules were open.

When I was in Amsterdam in 1986, I really liked the culture and the laid-back nature of the people here. Of course, it also helped that in being an Afrikaans-speaking South African, I could understand Dutch fairly well. And besides, the Dutch all speak English fluently. So on short notice, I decided a trip to Amsterdam might be a fascinating place for Janine and I to explore for a few days, and let her discover another culture.

With that, I thought it would be a good opportunity to announce a workshop in Amsterdam, since I’ve had several enquiries from The Netherlands and neighboring countries. I was quite thrilled that this workshop today was nearly sold out, even though I did announce it on fairly short notice.

After Dark Photography Education – Dallas, TX – 2012

March 2, 2012

After Dark Photography Education - Dallas, TX – 2012

I’ve raved here about the After Dark photography conventions before, as being the best photography convention / learning experience that I’ve attended. So it is with great pleasure that I did several presentations at the After Dark event in Dallas, TX during Feb 27 -29, 2012. I even expanded the range of topics I taught to include a presentation on basic portrait retouching in Photoshop and Lightroom.

Of course, part of the fun of After Dark Edu, is that you can use any of the 10 bays where there are numerous lighting goodies, and photograph one of the models there. So you get to play with gear you wouldn’t normally have access to … along with the various Mentors there to help you. Or, if you choose, you can just play around on your own and discover. And this is what I did here when I photographed Madison. I added a beauty dish and an Eyelighter reflector, and a gridded softbox for a bit of a kicker, and another light for the background. Just having fun, seeing what the result would look like. And that’s a way to learn. Here’s the pull-back shot …
