Description
This will be a full day workshop that will begin mid-morning and it will end in the evening. The actual start and end times will be determined by light and when the sun falls and the time of year. On average, the times will be between 10am – 7pm.
With so many photographers in the industry, light is what sets you apart. Without it, there’s no image. I’ve always been a passionate seeker of light, which constantly evolves. Mastering the ability to see, shape, and control light is crucial. These days, anyone can create decent natural light images, but if you want to stand out, it’s time to invest in your craft and elevate your skills! We’ll explore advanced natural lighting techniques and how I blend natural and created light for a unique, subtle effect. You’ll learn to simulate various natural light looks with just one light, regardless of time of day. Everyone seeks a distinct photographic style. I will demonstrate my approach, but the workshop is designed for you to develop your OWN unique style.
- You’ll learn to recognize light in a way that’s unique to you—this is absolutely essential! It’s the key to my lasting success in the industry.
- I’ll demonstrate what I mean when I say no one can predict my shots before I take them. It’s a “superpower” that keeps me in high demand, and I’ll show you exactly how it works.
- There will be absolutely no “paparazzi style” shooting! Everyone has their own time to have one on one with the models.
- The shooting time is all about you, not me. I’ll demonstrate my process and explain it clearly, but I’ll focus on each of you individually, guiding you based on your unique personality. My job is to help you find your own approach.
- The goal is to equip each participant with the tools to confidently recognize and use light, even in challenging situations.
- You are able to use the images that you capture in your social media, website, or wherever you would like to use them.
- I show you the back of my LCD screen so you can see my SOOC images on that very day on my camera.
- You will learn to work in areas that most photographers will simply walk past. This keeps your eye very uniquely you.
RECAP Video
A few weeks after the workshop, you’ll receive access to a video recap of your specific workshop day. I’ll review the lighting techniques, thought processes, and editing methods used, along with BTS footage to refresh your memory. The full editing video, yours to keep for life, ensures you won’t need to take notes. I’ll email you once it’s ready, and you’ll be able to watch it anytime through your AW Teaches account.
This workshop will be intimate and capped at 10 photographers. ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS. You do not need to own your own lighting equipment to participate in the workshop. I will supply the lighting equipment. Just bring your camera and favorite lenses. I will supply you all with the triggers so that you can fire the light. It doesn’t matter what camera you use.
The workshop is catered towards professional photographers, and the serious hobbyists. It doesn’t matter how advanced one is, nor how inexperienced one may be. The techniques I share are completely unconventional, and every single person in attendance will learn more than they think that they will. Many are programmed to think and approach a photographic scene a certain way. I am almost 100% certain that I will show you the complete opposite!
There will not be a waitlist.
