Photography Workshop
A very personal and private experience
This workshop is designed to help individuals develop better people skills in combination with lighting and/or seeing better light as per subject and location. I can help you become more assertive and yet open to allowing the essence of your subjects to translate with your point of view. People, be it journalistic or formal portraiture, can be revealed in a natural way and lighting and all the elements of capturing a subject need to be addressed; from just seeing a person in the world as a journalist, to styling, makeup, location, lighting and allowing an other's character to come through without looking forced. However photo illustration and conceptual ideas are and can be part of the creative process while doing portraits. I will help you to gain access with the camera in a thoughtful and hopefully more evocative way. Each trip is planned around where you want to go and what you need to hone your skills as a portrait photographer. The workshop will be a one on one experience that provides you with a wealth of information that has you shooting, mingling, and producing photographs for as many days as you like. I have almost 30 years experience and can share all of it with you from the technical side to intuitive way of thinking. We can plug into what works for you and open some of the creative tools so you really enjoy the process of photography as a whole. I can give you tools to help you if our creatively stuck and I can help you become better at seeing and lighting if that is an area you need to expand. The time spent will be a mix of shooting, discussing the technical information, and being involved with a 24-hour photographic experience. I will show you how to make your life rewarding through your art.
