This is a 7-hour workshop that includes studio photography education with models, hair and make-up professional, all backdrops and lighting as well as post-processing of your images in our state-of-the-art classroom. Each student will have their own computer workstation to learn how to edit and get the best results possible!
During our photo shoots, our small group of participants will have access to studio lighting gear and experienced models. We will cover everything from buying your first set of lights, to directing a model while in the studio setting, as well as passing down all the little tips-and-tricks to help you get that WOW shot you’ve always wanted. After a fun-filled morning of studio lighting basics, we will break for lunch and return to the studio to put your newly acquired skills to action by photographing the models. Your instructor will guide you through all the steps of a successful studio portrait photographer. This section will focus on adjusting lighting and your camera settings to get the portrait you are after.

What to Bring
Workshop FAQs
:: What should I expect? :: All workshops are designed to help you learn how to take better photographs and offer a complete immersion into digital landscape and/or wildlife photography. You will learn important photography techniques such as how to properly expose a composition, when to use a filter for best effect, and how to understand and adjust camera settings for optimum results. :: Why only Digital? :: Digital photography offers unique opportunities for in-field photography workshops. By reviewing captured images as soon as they happen, we can examine exposure, composition and histograms, and instantly learn what works--and what doesn't. :: What should I bring? What is required? ::
:: What kind, and how much, equipment should I bring? :: Bring it all if you can! You never know what you might see. On many workshops we focus on landscape photos, but you never know when wildlife might enter the scene and provide the perfect opportunity to photograph them in their natural habitat. It's always better to go into the field with too much gear, rather than miss an opportunity because of not enough equipment. :: Is transportation provided? :: Each student is responsible for their own transportation during the workshop. :: Can a non-photographer friend or spouse attend the workshop? :: Non-photographer friends and or spouses are welcome to attend but will be liable for their transportation. For more information, please contact the Aperture Academy staff. :: Does weather ever alter or cancel events? :: Only if conditions pose a safety risk. Often, poor weather can make for dramatic photographic opportunities, so if rain is forecasted, pack a light jacket or rain poncho and bring something to keep your camera dry (a hotel shower cap is ideal). :: What happens if I have to cancel? :: Because of the limited number of workshops and availability of one-on-one instruction sessions, once we schedule a spot, it won't be available for anyone else, therefore we can not offer a refund unless the cancellation is 90 days before the workshop date. This policy is necessary to assure us that those who sign up are serious about the adventure and will not back out, ruining the opportunity for someone else. :: Be prepared to take better photographs! :: These workshops will help you develop skills, learn techniques and get to know your camera and equipment like never before. As a bonus, you will have a fun time and build friendships while learning to improve your photography technically. The result? You'll be capable of producing photographs as beautiful as any professional! |
