PHOTO WORKSHOP WYOMING - MASTERS OF LIGHTING - Grand Tetons National Park

Traveling the world, photographers will find many beautiful lands, but few compare to the wild unique beauty Jackson Hole, Wyoming and The Grand Tetons! This workshop will teach you to photgraph this beauty in ways few others have achieved. Why shoot what you can simply buy at the local postcard rack? MOL will teach you lighting techniques which will transcend all types of photography. Equipment is not the issue. It doesn’t matter if it is one light, multiple lights, flashlights or Photo Sabres. What matters is how you use them and how you use natural light. MOL will advance your learning process by months if not years in an awe inspiring setting

BLOWING YOUR MIND

No, I'm not going to give everyone hits of LSD. But I will be getting you naturally high on creative excitement! Monday night we will gather together for good old fashioned cowboy dinner on the range. Come Tuesday morning we will all head out for our first shoot! After this very informative demos shoot, you will have a chance to shoot as well. In fact, everything I shoot, you will shoot. After each shoot, we will process through what just happened. All questions will be answered. After some ree time, we will all return to workshop central for lunch, critiques and post production classes. We will then break again for more free time, but gather again in time to travel to our evening shoot. We will do it again on day two, only with cooler lighting techniques. On the third, fourth and fifth day you learn to swim and hopefully not doggy style. You will be paired up and given a couple of assignments to finish on your own. Come Saturday morning we will meet for a multimedia presentation of everyone work from the week and enjoy one last lunch together before we all head our seperate ways.

A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS

As much as kevo would like to think heeee knows everything about photography, we all know kevo does NOT!!! That is why you will hear from other pro photographers, magazine photo editors and/or ad agency art directors as guest speakers. Because they all come from different perspectives, you will gain nuggets of gold from what they have to say.

THE CAMP HIGH

What happens after most workshops? You go home and look at your photos from your assignments and you begin to ponder all you have learned. Then, the phone rings or your kids gang attack you or you have an A.D.D. moment and the ceiling fan reminds you of something else and before you know it days go by and the “Camp High” begins to fade. Pretty soon you remember only half of what was taught. NOT ON MY WATCH! You will receive a few post workshop assignments to shoot for the next couple of months a deadline to email me back your best image so we can see how you have progressed and how you need to be further advised. This instructor will not be satisfied to just take your money! Only fully completed assignments will quench his thirst!
