I have used this site to formulate many of the ideas and topics I use at a workshop.  However, the wonderful thing about a workshop setting is the ability to interact and connect with other artists.  There is no substitute for human interaction and the ability for hands on demonstrations.


One of my main objectives at a workshop is to leave those who have attended with a renewed vision and a passion for creating fresh new images that can compete in todays market place.  It is a thousand time more productive to inspire and motivate someone to create, than it is to just feed them a bunch of technical information. 


Yes, as part of the workshop, I will do multiple hands on demonstrations showing many of the lighting techniques and the post processing techniques I use.  However, all along I try to keep the technical aspect in context to a artistic perspective that emphasizes each individuals  personal vision and uniqueness.   I love to treat photographers as creative  artist, not technicians.


One of the biggest disappointments I have experienced attending workshops is when the photographer lecturing spends 90% of the time talking about what a wonderful and brilliant photographer they are.


This is a disservice to those attending and in the end a complete waist of everyones time.  Inspiration comes from a motivated heart, not from an over inflated ego.

This workshop is a must for those who what to increase their portrait lighting skills and take their craft to the next level.  I am excited to have this workshop held at the prestigious Loft 19 studios in north Phoenix.  This is a 7000 sq. ft. facility that will knock your socks off. 


Over the two days we will be covering all sorts of topics, (listed below).  But in addition, we will be having a number of fashion/beauty models on hand as well as some sports subjects available for hands on lighting demonstrations. We will also have a professional make-up/hair stylist on hand.  My goal is to have at least three sets going at one time, two in studio and one outdoor, giving each attendee a chance to experiment with the various lighting techniques covered in the lectures. 

Cost:  $499,


Deposit:  $100 will secures your spot.
