Dallas Photography Summit – 2-Day Workshop!

Coming to Dallas! Very honored to be invited by the Dallas PPA to teach a 2-day workshop August 12 & 13. Information and registration is all here.

Two days – live demo, all day on Saturday and Sunday, and photo booths with models available to do your own shooting. Lively Q&A, lots of laughs, mistakes, recoveries, lighting strategies, and a look at the survival aspects of this beloved, nutty business.

There’s a session on Dynamic Sports Portraits…

Editorial Fashion….

And Character Portraits…

If you are interested in the varied path of light, and how to control it, speak with it, push and pull it to your advantage, and, most importantly, create emotion with it, this will be an excellent couple of days. Lighting quickly, under pressure, will be shown and talked about. Lighting the impossible. Or using light to manufacture a picture on the spot, at the moment, with a client looking at you in skeptical fashion, having presented you with a canvas tote of a situation that they expect you to turn into a Chanel handbag.

Light is language, and it will be spoken all weekend in Dallas – in air conditioning! Flash, models, discussion, equipment displays and more.

Dallas in August. What could go wrong? See you there!
