A group of photographers in Charlotte asked if I would like to present a flash photography workshop there. We arranged a really nice venue - The Getty Center, in Rock Hill, SC - and settled on a date, July 25th (Sat). Everything in place for this, the first workshop away from NJ / NY since the workshop in Amsterdam two years ago. With two models, and a relatively small group of 8 people - just how I prefer the workshop size, we could cover the photography workshop syllabus in a relaxed tempo, and be sure everyone had the Read more inside...recap: Photography workshop – Amsterdam, Netherlands (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 Read more inside...recap: Photography workshop – Dublin, Ireland (2011)

It's been a hectic week, flying in to Dublin (Ireland), for two sold-out workshops there over the past weekend. (Sept 17 & 18) Barely any time for sight-seeing, but it's been a fantastic trip over. In the photo, from left to right: Roz, our one model (an entrant for the Miss Universe competition for Ireland!); myself; Hanna, our other model, (an entrant to Ireland and UK's Next Top Model competition for 2011); Liam Ramsell of Pro Foto Training (host of the workshops); Jesssica, my infamous assistant with a 'tood; and Peter Read more inside...recap: photography workshop – Jersey City & Manhattan (2010)

As a recap of the two-day long flash photography workshop, here are some images to show you some of the areas we photographed, and used as a backdrop. In the photo above, Aleona iscaught in mid-air during the recent flash photography workshop. As part of an explanation of High-Speed Flash Sync, she patiently vaulted into the air numerous times for everyone who attended the 2nd day of the workshop. As before, the 2nd day is the on-location fun practical segment of the workshop which takes place in Manhattan. The Read more inside...recap: photography workshop – Philadelphia (2009)

One of the final workshops for 2009, was the one held in Philadelphia in the prestigious Ritz hotel! Working inside the hotel and the surrounding areas, provided us with some stunning backdrops while photographing our models. Still staying with the updated format with the flash photograph workshop, if I am guided by the response by those who attended, then the workshop once again appears to have been a hit. I had a great time as well, and I am sure there will be a few interesting photographs surfacing again. Thank you again to Read more inside...recap: Photography workshop – Seattle (2009)

And well may you ask what is going on here!? As we were walking back from the session outdoors during the flash photography workshop in Seattle, we still had our off-camera lighting ready - two soft boxes with speed lights. When we bumped into these two characters, we had an impromptu session right there in the hotel lobby. Electronic Arts were holding a Community Day for the video game titled "Army of Two: The 40th Day". A community Day is when a video game company (such as Electronic Arts) brings in some of their biggest fans, as well Read more inside...recap: Photography workshop – Brighton, UK (2009)

I must say I am pretty amazed myself at being able to come to the UK to present workshops, and that there was such interest in having me come over. So here we are .. the first workshop just took place, and it was in Brighton, the well-known tourist and holiday resort. As usual, part of the program included working outdoors with softboxes and manual flash .. and for this we went down to the colourful promenade. The image above has our two models, Amy and Francesca, at the merry-go-round on the promenade. Some technical info about Read more inside...recap: photography workshop – San Francisco (2009)
