Workshop Reflections | Tuttle Images | Frank Tuttle, Photographer

Don’s class will use lots of lighting modifiers and light set-ups – very cool if you have never seen these (and I had not). You get to play with multiple lights, multiple set-ups, and moving around and doing both indoor and outdoor. You don’t get to see a whole lot of what Don goes through when he is set-up and shot and seeing what decisions he makes.  Don shoots very little during his class.  Some talk and discussion about post-processing was done in Don’s class.

Zack has made his career on using one light either bare or with a 60″ umbrella on a stand. Yes, we explored the Westcott Apollo softboxes (with flashes, not monoblocks) as well. But most all the time, one light.  Zack did a number (3?) of shots where he talked through what he was thinking when doing the PROCESS of making one image – approaching the shot, how he is looking at the subject, the background, and the lighting and the choices he has to make based on what is going on with the light. Zack also at the end of the day talks a bit about workflow and how he goes through editing.

Me and Zack... yeah, I like that.

Thanks for the kind words, Frank.
