I had the great pleasure of teaching my Digital Photography Lighting and Workflow Session at the Precision Camera University this past weekend. I went into this weekend with quite a bit of trepidation. I was worried that I wouldn't have enough material to fill an 8 hour day (3 days in a row).
Part of my day was spent showing various lighting setups using the NEW Westcott Spiderlite TD6's and the rest of my day was spent showing my workflow from start to finish including everything from signing model releases with Easy Release on the iPad, importing images into Adobe Lightroom 3 and managing them, delivery of the web proofing gallery via the TTG Highslide Gallery Pro plug-in and retouching in Adobe Photoshop CS5. Needless to say by the time I did all of this and allowed time for the students to shoot using the various setups that I did each day flew by.
prepping for a group shot with all the attendees, I stole this opportunity to grab one using my iPhone 4.
It was an honor presenting along side Michele Celentano, Tony Corbell and David Guy Maynard at this event. Also I have to thank the staff at Precision Camera for all the hard work that went into coordinating this 3 day event with multiple simultaneous tracks, location scouting and model/makeup/wardrobe setup.
John Williamson was on hand from Westcott
It was a pleasant surprise to walk in and see my buddy John from Westcott. Westcott was one of the sponsors of the event and I was there on their behalf as well as Adobe's behalf. While it was great seeing John again, he was a huge help in my classes acting as photographer assistent and I imposed upon him to kick each day off explaining the six styles of lighting. I've never heard anyone explain it the way he does and I didn't want my class to miss that opportunity. John also made for a very handsome male model 🙂

Without the great models this workshop would have been a lot harder to teach!
Thanks!
A Special Thanks goes out to all of my students over the 3 day period. You had a choice in instructors and you chose my class. So I thank you for spending a day with me and hearing what I had to say.
