Benji's Portrait and Lighting Workshop - PhotoCamel

Benji · 01-10-2008

My annual lighting and posing workshop will be held on Saturday March 8, 2008 at my downtown photography studio located at 109 North Main Street Bluffton, Indiana. The workshop begins at 9:00 A.M. and ends at 6:00 P.M. Lunch is included. Your investment is only $189.00 per photographer. Class size is limited to the first eight. Bring your camera and your questions. Meet your fellow Photocamel buddies. Lots of fun and fellowship. A free CD of all the images will also be presented to each attendee. We will cover the following:
1. Getting correct exposure every time.
2. Getting correct white balance every time.
3. Lighting with one light and a reflector.
4. Lighting with two or more lights.
5. Posing problems and how to handle them.
6. Building rapport with the subject.
7. Things to watch for while shooting.
8. Demonstration of many of the rules in portraiture.

We will photograph a senior girl, a senior guy, a bride and the romantic couple.

We are located 20 minutes south of the Fort Wayne International Airport (FWA).

For more information contact Ben at 1-800-525-9108, or email Ben at ben@sonshinestudios.com

We accept all major credit cards as well as a check/MO or cash.

Benji, You should get someone to film/record that. I'd buy it since I am unable to go!!!! Oh well, maybe next year.

How much is a plane ticket!!

I wish I could make it Benji, but the budget is so far blown out already

Best,
Jay

Benji, it appears I am a five hour drive from you. I have to check to see what is going on my calendar that day.

Kelly,

Harryd signed up today and he said he lives in Eldorado, IL if that is anywhere near you maybe you two could ride together.

Harry is about four hours south of me. I want a tentative reservation for the workshop. I need to check on a few things...spring break and if the family wants to come and just relax. They would just explore Ft. Wayne while I got some excellent instruction. I will probably drive down Early Saturday morning, I would have to leave around spend a night in a hotel, and drive back on Sunday. Thinking that through again, I would have to leave on Friday night. I'll let you know sooon.

k9ofkaos · 01-12-2008

I looked it up. It's a ten and a half hour drive

Maybe next year.

Benji · 01-18-2008

I've got room for two more!

Benji

I leave on vacation for two weeks in sunny Florida on Monday 01-21-08 so don't panic if you sign up but don't hear from me immediately.

Ya know Stacey, I mentioned a vacation in North Dakota to my wife, but for some reason she wasn't too interested

plus after I told her you were a real looker and wanted a "one on one" workshop she was even less interested!
