3 Day Photography Lighting Workshop in Mexico


I am really excited about where the workshops are headed. I am going to Florida, Detroit, Nova Scotia, Baltimore, New York... even Texas.
And this is my first multi-day workshop in Mexico.

Rocky Point (Puerto Peñasco), Mexico April 27, 28, 29, 2008 (Las Palmas)

Can you believe this!!!!
Beach, incredible surroundings, luxury at an amazingly affordable price. We are going south of the border to conduct a 3-day workshop on the beach and around the little town of Puerto Peñasco. Structured workshops and free shooting time provided.

SIGNUP FORM HERE (NOTE: if the signup form has no submit button, the workshop is full.) It is currently open and ready for enrollment.

We would like to limit it to 15 participants for this workshop. The fee is $325 for the workshop and there are great prices for the rooms there as well.

Included: The workshop will include the Lighting Essentials DVD and Photoshop DVD as well as a Workbook. There will be plenty of time for personal shooting as well as team shooting with the models. The workshop will be broken into three parts.

Sunday a meetup at the resort: Portfolio sharing, a creative workshop with workflow for shooting discussed. In addition we will meet the models and each other and prepare for the next 2 days.

Monday starts with basic lighting fundamentals part of the workshop. From headshots to group shots you will explore many ways to control light and use studio lights as well as small flash techniques that are amazing. After a late lunch, team shooting will find you with models and a team to help, rotating models and teams will keep everything fresh and fun. Meetup on the beach as the sunset approaches for shooting sunset model shots.

After dinner discussion and image review from the day. Location techniques discussed

Tuesday is location with models in the field. We look at natural light and how to augment it. We will be all over the resort and in the town so the possiblities for images is limitless. I will be working with each of you to develop location skills and lighting tricks to save you time and get the shots you want to get...everytime. Free shoot time and demonstrations for those interested. Back to beach for beach shoot and another sunset model shoot.

After dinner wrapup with a review and discussion on marketing and web design for photographers.

Wednesday: Dawn shoot with models and the location for those intrepid souls that want to arise at that magical time of day. Breakfast and wrapup.

The workshop will take place at Las Palmas Beachfront Resort which is located on Sandy Beach. Each participant needs to contact the resort directly to rent a private condo at rates below. Your rental also covers the cost of us using one of the resort's exclusive beachfront homes for the entire 3-day workshop.

We will be shooting on the beach and around the resort. We may venture into town and try some remote location in the old town district. Naturally we'll be bringing down some models from Phoenix. The workshop will also include peer shooting reviews each evening at the beachfront home.
