Hi all,

This NEW workshop will include two models that we'll be photographing an engagement style photo session with.
This is a GREAT opportunity for anyone who is interested in wedding photography.
You will see how to work with a couple, how to pose them, how to communicate to them what you have in mind for the shoot.
They are a beautiful couple! You will be able to use this to build your portfolio for engagement photos!

I will teach the following:

• Posing techniques.
  
• Working outdoor with available light.
  
• Working with reflectors to control the light.
  
• Coming up with ideas for the photos.
  
• Composition techniques.
  
• Communicating your ideas for the photo to the couple.
  
• Using multiple flashes at night for creating dramatic photographs.
  
• And much more!!!!
