Day 1 we dove right into the deep end with lectures from Chenin, Doug, and John (JMC) about previsualization, context, making every image interesting, telling the story, and branding. (that's just a tidbit of things found in my notebook) Then we went out to shoot Elvis with polaroid cameras all over Downtown Las Vegas. Yes, Elvis lives! Too bad I didn't get (digital) pictures of this. But it was a great exercise in using a limited tool to rely on more "thinking" rather than having all the digital advantages.
Day 2 was all about finding the light, and creating dramatic lighting. And this time we got to shoot with our own cameras. Here's a few favs that I got of our models (and photographers) Trish and Jared:
Day 3 was all about creating TRUST from clients, directing, cool group shots, being proactive, album designs, self promotion, and workflow. We even got a little bit of expert PhotoShop tips from Doug.
And that evening we met up with my friends from San Francisco Ed and Monica Pingol (awesome photographers!) for an impromptu romantic photo shoot:
Afterwards we had a little fun while looking for a Starbucks (vid courtesy of Erwin, starring Monica, Ed, Jeff, me, Josh)
Ok it was about 3am in the morning and I had the wrong shoes on!
So the workshop ended with a demo shoot at "The Boneyard" - the Neon Sign Museum in Las Vegas. John, Chenin, and Doug
The Anti-Students!
Oh wait, it doesn't really end there...
we also had a chance to shoot Eliesa and Judd at Bally's
They were totally cool and were down for anything!
Awesome times!
