[Spider_Calendar id=”1″ theme=”ThemeID”] Our workshop schedule for the first part of 2015 is set, including the workshops and classes we do in partnership with Samy’s Camera at our studio. This year we will concentrate on OCF (off camera flash), Beginning and Advanced Studio Portrait Lighting, the Wedding Workshop and a Post Production Workshop. We also plan to have at least one environmental location portrait / fashion shoot with a great model. Visit our class descriptions page for a brief description of each class; what we’ll cover, the best experience level you should have to take full advantage of the information presented, the gear you should bring, etc.

We will have models to photograph at our workshops; these could be couples, for the wedding workshop, or individuals for the OCF and Studio Portrait Lighting workshops. You will  photograph the models, and come away with nice images, but these workshops are not meant to be “Portfolio Building Events”, they are meant to teach you how to recreate each situation and give you a better understanding of lighting, posing and the photographic process.

If you are considering attending one of our workshops but have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email or call us. We’re always happy to chat with you to make sure you attend and benefit from the right workshops for you.

We’re very excited to have Barry Evans teaching an entire Lightroom series at our studio. We’ll start out this series with a beginner’s guide to Lightroom in our “Getting Up and Running With Lightroom” workshop. Then we’ll dive deeper into the different modules that Lightroom has to offer, with three separate seminars that will cover the Library, Develop, and Print modules. Full class descriptions are towards the bottom of this post.

About the instructor

Barry discovered photography when he was only twelve and was drawn to it immediately. As he matured as a photographer Barry was inspired by the work of Paul Caponigro and Ansel Adams, he was hooked for life!

Barry paid for his college education by taking photographic assignments and working full time in a camera store. The next thirty years have been a complete immersion in the photographic industry; from running retail operations and working as a manufacturer’s representative for Canon and Ilford to owning his own Studio and Lab. At the same time Barry has developed a very successful second career as a software consultant and educator, specializing in Adobe’s Lightroom.

Currently, Barry is the Pro Department Manager at Samy’s Camera in Santa Ana, and is passing on his thirty five years of technical experience though lectures, consulting and technical editing.
