Agenda

This isn’t a recipe class. We won’t tell you what settings are best. We’ll help you UNDERSTAND why different settings work well with some subjects. Understand when to add light and when to subtract light. Understand how to select the appropriate lights and modifiers.

To that end, we will discuss in detail many different aspects of photography.

LIGHT SOURCES

From sunlight to a candle, we discuss light sources used by the photographer - including studio lights and speedlites. We discuss the features of these devices and help you understand which to choose for your camera bag. 

LIGHT MODIFIERS

Any light source can be modified. In this segment, you'll learn how to recognize when a modifier is necessary and how to choose the right modifier for the job. 

THE STUDIO SHOOT

With our newfound knowledge of light, light sources, and light modifiers, we'll get to work setting up a small studio and photographing our model. We'll start with one light and build up from there. 

THE HEADSHOT

The headshot is one of the most basic products offered by working photographers. You'll learn how to set up your equipment to produce dynamic headshots. And, everyone in the workshop will have a headshot created by Tony.

THE WORKFLOW

Workflow is a critical element for any photographer. We'll discuss how to set up your workflow for speed and efficiency - all with the highest quality images as our final goal.
