“ Over all it was a fun event, just need to be more organized. ” -
“ I think it went very well. We had a slight problem with "flaky" models but we got some last minute models and it was a BLAST. ” -
“ Hi: i rated it a neural, that doesn't mean it wasn't fun but there are a few things that I think need to be changed. Firstly, there were too many people so it got chaotic. Its almost unavoidable. Secondly, I was expecting and hoping for more actual lighting setup experience. It's useful to have the lights already all set up but the learning comes from doing it yourself, playing with it, etc. That means more time at one station and more control over the light. I'd be willing to give up fancy props like cars/motorcycels for that. Thirdly, it would be nice to have a few more small props for the models to engage with. And one last, it would be nice to have a station with a more funky/urban feel to it, maybe a brick wall, wall with graffiti or something like that. Thanks, though. It was fun and everybody was very friendly and helpful. ” -
“ Very good instructions and Tsafrir was a great help with the settings. I really liked shooting with available light from outsite too. The tunnel was fun! We got a lot out of it, and met some great other photographers, and great models too! The studio is great, and the sets were well set up. The makeup artist was awesome! ” -
“ This meetup offered a large variety of studio sets, lighting setups and models. We had a lot of fun, made new friends and got some really nice shots out of it. The organizer struck a good balance between keeping things organized and letting people have their way in the shoots. Thanks to Tsafrir and of course to all the models! ” -

I opened a new alum for this workshop: http://www.bayareaphotogroup.com/photos/757189/
Please upload your photos there :)
I have some photos that can be downloaded full size on my flickr account at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/josephpascua/
I'm updating photos slowly as I am backed up several sessions.
David,
I agree with you, I'm learning for next time :)
Thanks for the input. Your photos are great. Please post a link so the models can see them.
One other thing I would suggest, is tell people to leave their own speedlights and other lighting at home. There were a couple of guys in my group who had their own speedrings and they were quite annoying because they kept shooting during others shoot time and sometimes their flashes interfered with the lighting of the main shooter. I'd
I tried to upload my photos. But the maximum has been exceeded. Too bad.
It was a lot of fun but somewhat chaotic at times. And the people from the studio seemed to think they had a priority over those of use who paid for this shoot.
Nonetheless, I did get some good stuff. So look for my shots under Rusty Sterling on Flickr.
Mike, I'll send you my shots as soon as I've finished post.
I have all the model releases. If you want a copy email me!
We found a lens cap and a lens shade. they are at the studio. Contact me or Thivu for more details.
Hi all,
So the catering company is Dror Catering: http://www.drorcatering.com/
Please send me an email and I'll send you the details of our models.
Hannah, We will cover all that!
Mike, looking forward to some discussion on how to pose models --- and how to give instructions.
So I'm getting 4 Veggie meals. If you must have a veggie meal please write it here as a comment. Thanks.
Rosaura, I see you have lot's of ideas, and we will try to work them all out.
This specific workshop is NOT about working with couples. it is about working with studio lights, and props. we might do a very short "couple" session but I'm planning a much better workshop for the next one that will be another engagement photo shoot, this time with models! so you will have that one to play with a couple :)
I hope this helps.
