REGISTER FOR WORKSHOPS

Back in Kansas City. While I was away for the last 11 years I have had some requests to put on a workshop here in Kansas City. Now that I am back home for a while, seems like the perfect time.

Ask yourself this:

• Are you a natural light photographer?
• Do you struggle with flash?
• Are your images not as good as you would like?
• Have you ever wanted to try something new photographically?
• Do you have trouble posing subjects?
• Do you want to keep your photography fresh?

2 day workshop “Don’t be afraid of the light”
September 19-20 & November 14-15
10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Demystify lighting using Natural, Strobe and Continuous lighting.  In this workshop you will go back to the basics to be able to fully understand how to use lighting properly. We will also discuss theory on composition and design in photography.  You will come away understanding why, not just how to light your subjects.  We will go on a field trip to a local gallery to get back to the roots and be really inspired.  We will have models available during the photo sessions, where you will be given the opportunity to work with them and lighting while Chuck coaches and mentors.

To make it fun, we will conduct photo challenges in the style of Project Runway and Master Chef type  of shows. This will allow us to focus on certain aspects of the photographic process. We will have fun critique to help understand aspects within the photograph. There are also a number of giveaways from companies like Radiopopper, Big Folio, Fundy SOS, Marathon Press and more to come.
