The Wedding Lighting Workshop: the Photobooth

Hi and welcome back.

At the end of the workshop last Saturday we ran a photobooth.  My intent was to have everyone go through, but when this wasn’t well received, Andrea and Linley stepped up and did it.

The photobooth is just a fun time in front of the camera getting crazy and having fun.

Also, to all attendees, Laurie and I are offering $50 off our next workshop if you can forward an image using bounce flash technique with the foam attached to your flash.  Forward a link to a site, an image, or blog entry to win.

Look for another workshop in the late Spring or early Summer.

Here’s the photobooth:

Wedding Lighting Workshop Success!

Hi and welcome back.

It has been a week since my last post, and I have been busy with images from last Saturday’s Wedding Lighting Workshop.

It was fantastic.  Great River Golf Club was beautiful.  We worked on camera flash, off camera flash, and natural light.  We had four models and just a great time.

Below are some images from the event.  If you are interested in attending a workshop, let me know.  We are running another in the late Spring or Early Summer.  It again will be fantastic.

My thanks to the models:

Bride: Andrea Schod

Groom: Joseph Alarcon

Attendant: Linley Seip

Flower Girl: Annie Jorden Tomaszek

Enjoy some shots from the day.

Wedding Lighting Workshop

Hi and welcome back.

The wedding lighting workshop is almost here: I’m elated and can’t sleep!

Here are the details (Please note the menu is ala carte and included in registration fee):

Meetup Update

Hi and welcome back.

I apologize for the lack of posts but it’s getting busy.  I once read that a working photographer doesn’t have the time to blog everyday: this is true.  When you have to book work, market, invoice, shoot, edit, deliver, and do taxes along with trying to earn a living, it is too much to blog everyday.  I’ll be posting again soon on a fairly regular schedule, so stick with me.

I have a few images from last Saturday’s Meetup group.  These shots are of our model Miranda, who was just fun and fantastic.

Our meetup was based upon the versatile umbrella but quickly devolved into using the Westcott 28″ Apollo Softbox, my newest and most favorite light modifier.  More on that later this week/weekend.

Enjoy these images and check out the Meetup group.  It’s a blast.

A Few Websites I've Found

Hi and welcome back.

For today, a quickie on a few new websites I’ve found.

First, Camerapedia.  Built to look like Wikipedia, this site houses all the info you’ll need on your camera and just about every camera ever made.

Second, Flash Zebra.  For you Strobists/Off-Camera Flash users, this is a great site to find triggers, wires, sync chords, and everything in between.

Third, Topaz Adjust.  This is a software company that allows you to process images really creatively.  For $50, this is the best value I’ve found in photography lately.  I’m going to get a copy and review it.

That’s it for now.  Till next time, happy shooting.

Shopping For A Dress

Hi and welcome back.

Last Saturday, along with the test shoot with Andrea, we shopped for a dress for the Wedding Lighting Workshop on February 20.

I have to admit: I had fun.  Below are a few images from the fitting at Coren Moore’s Studio in Rowayton.  It was fun and Andrea was fabulous.

All shots Nikon D3 and available light.

Interested in the workshop, drop me a line.  It’s going to be fun and fantastic.
