***************************************************************************************

Hi all,

This workshop will include a REAL couple that I'll be photographing their engagement photos!
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!
In this workshop I will be photographing and working with the couple, you will be shooting behind me.
I will let you guys shoot from time to time, but mostly I will be taking photos, because this is a REAL couple and I need to get good photos for them.

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.
  • And much more!!!!

Duration:
The workshop will be from 11:45am to 4pm
Please be on time!!! We are working with a real couple (not paid models), so please respect their time.

Payment:
This workshop will cost $75 Payable only via PayPal!

Location:
Main St. in Half moon bay and then going to the beach near the Ritz Carlton.

Parking:
You will have to arrange for your own parking! Please allow yourself time to park!

What to bring?:
Bring your Cameras, Lenses.
You will be shooting!!!! So bring everything you have.
Preferably you should have a DSLR camera! You would not photograph a wedding with a point and shoot! if you don't have a DSLR - rent one! We now have a new sponsor! Borrow Lenses you can order equipment from them for %10 off with a code: bayarea10

I'm limiting this workshop to 10 people total! I found that in this type of a shoot 10 people works well.
Please sign up as soon as possible - I will not have more then 10 people for this workshop!

Please answer these 3 questions when you signup:


  • What type of camera do you have?
  • Do you have experience working with couples?
  • Are you working now as a wedding photographer? or Are you planing on working as a wedding photographer?


This will be a great workshop! The couple is wonderful, and very photogenic! And I will teach everything I do!
See you there!

    Lidiya, I see your comment, I think that some people don't RSVP for other reasons. they didn't see the message, they want to see how many people will register, they are still thinking about it... That's why I ask to RVSP, and I ONLY send notifications to people who didn't RSVP at all, if you RSVP as no, you stop getting messages from me... :) I hope this makes sense.
