Jan attended yesterdays workshop (Dec1, 2008). He was very knowledgable already, but I was able to show him and everyone there, some simple, yet fun tools to really take their knowledge, and images, to a new level. Jan, it was good to meet you, and thanks for the blog post. Cheers!
Jan Klier's Photo Journey: Photos: Model Shots & Lighting Essentials: "We worked on several lighting techniques: one umbrella with fill card and scrim, two umbrellas in clam-shell formation, with softbox and fill card, and in front of softbox with grid spot. On location we used a variety of small flash, umbrellas, and reflector cards.
There were also a few smaller tips & tricks I picked up at the workshop. For example I had usually skipped the modeling lights, not realizing that without them the model's pupils will be wide open and adjusted the darker ambient, making for a much inferior portrait and contributing to a deer in the headlight effect. These are the type of things that you don't necessarily find in a book, but that come from working with other photographers."
