OneLight Photography Workshop [Repost]

In the nearly 4 hour long set of DVD’s I go over philosophy, gear, exposure, modifiers, application of it all, how I compose images, what I’m looking for in a photo, what I like, what I don’t like, how things go really well, how things start to suck very quickly, how to interact with clients, how to get kicked out of not just one location but two locations, and, most importantly, how to deal with a group of drunk girls out on the street.

Disc One
Opening Thoughts :: Exposure Control :: Gear (lights, stands, triggers, etc.) :: Modifiers (Umbrellas, soft boxes, grids, etc.) :: Indoor shoot and then 2 location shoots with the same client. During these shoots I methodically talk through my thinking process and how I am finding exposure and warming up to shooting and working with clients. These are slower paced for teaching purposes.

Disc Two
I pick up the pace on Disc Two and we do a lot of shooting. You’ll follow me on shoots with 3 individuals and one band. I’m more in “shooting” mode than “teaching” mode on this disc but I am still talking through the process of what I’m looking for in the final photo, how I’m going to get there, what type of light and modifier I need to get the job done, and how to work with situations when things just aren’t perfect.

I end the DVD with some information about my workflow in Lightroom. I’m not a “workflow” teacher. I have a system that works for me and I’m always improving it. Finally, the montage and credits are pretty cool. Stick around for those.
