Hi all,

This NEW 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!

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 as night for creating dramatic photographs.
  • And much more!!!!

You can see some photos I took at that location in the first 15 photos of this facebook album: Link to gallery of Photos From that location (Only first 15 photos)

Duration:
The workshop will be from 3pm to 9pm (Maybe 9:30pm)

This workshop will be posted on both my meetup groups!
Photographers of the Bay Area
SF Bay Area Wedding Photography Workshop

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! Calumet has great deals! Calumet website link

Please answer these 3 questions when you signup:


  • What type of camera do you have?

    This is such a fun group of people I really enjoy doing meetups with them. The couple was great, really nice people. I would like it if there were fewer people so that we could get more one on one shooting time with the subjects. I liked the night shots (lighting) learned some stuff there that will be really helpful. The day was a little long, but Tsafrir, you have the patience of a saint, great meetup
