So You Wanna Be A Photographer? ::
You have a camera. You might even have a web site. Your family loves your pictures and says you should do this for a living. You kind of understand aperture priority and depth of field but your technical foundation sort of stops there. I mean, you feel like you take pretty good pictures but NOW you want to make some money with it. Pause for a moment and really ask yourself if you have a rock solid understanding of the foundations of this craft. If you feel that the base of your skill set needs some help I’ve created an intense three day workshop just for you. Having passion for the craft of photography is fantastic but it isn’t enough.
As our market continues to get saturated you are going to see that those with talent will rise to the top and those without will continue to fill Craig’s List with new listings every 60 seconds. :) You need to have a very solid understanding of the nuts and bolts of making photographs and that is what you will learn at this workshop.
This is NOT a basic camera class to help you with your family vacation photos. This is designed to help people start a career in photography.
Foundational Topics Covered ::
• Camera skills - Operate your camera without looking at it.
• The relationships between aperture and shutter speed.
• The relationship between photographer and subject.
• White balance, in camera processing, and post production.
• Selecting lenses for the image you want to create.
• Making the most out of minimal equipment.
• Finding good light and using simple and inexpensive tools to modify it.
• Where to spend money in your photography business and monetary pitfalls to avoid.
• Common mistakes that will land you back at your day job in a few months.
• Editing your work to show the best and separating yourself from the work you love but should never again see the light of day.
• Recognizing today’s trends and working to separate yourself from the pack.
• Researching your market, marketing your work, pricing your services, and networking your tail off.
Daily Shooting & Critique ::
Bring all of your camera equipment (except for lights) to this workshop because you will be shooting everyday. Some times you will be shooting with me as I demonstrate techniques that we talk about during the lecture times of the workshop. There will be times you are paired up with a fellow class mate to complete an assignment and there will be assignments that you must complete on your own. You will be required to submit images from each assignment for critique and feedback.
Guest Speakers ::
I invite guest speakers to come and speak in order to provide you with information, perspectives, and guidance from other working professionals in the field. You can’t learn everything from just one single person and I don’t want to be the only voice you hear during this workshop.
What To Bring ::
You don’t need to have a full camera bag of all the best gear in the world. I don’t expect you to have that. If all you have is a kit lens that came with your camera I do ask that you go out and get a 50mm 1.8 lens for this workshop if you don’t already have one. The 50mm 1.8 is available for Nikon & Canon cameras and they usually run in the $100 price range.
It is also recommended that you bring a laptop to the workshop for editing your images from each day’s assignments. If you are unable to do so you will be able to use one of our workstations in the studio.
Cost & What’s included ::
The cost of this three day workshop is $1,200. All of your meals and beverages are included each day of the workshop. You will also get a copy of all the lecture material as well as a set of helpful reference cards to keep in your bag as you are out shooting on your own. The class is limited to 8 students so that you receive as much personal attention as possible.
The 90 Day Check-Up ::
I won’t leave you hanging after the workshop. You will have 90 days to get out there and start shooting and hustling to get your business rolling. I will make a one hour appointment with you to meet or talk on the phone 90 days after the workshop to check in on your progress, look at your work, give feedback, answer questions, or cover any other photography related topic you need assistance with.
Dates & Registration ::
We are only offering this workshop three times this year and they will all be based in my studio in Atlanta. Check the workshop dates page for registration information.
