Workshop FAQ

We want passionate students who are willing to take their photography education seriously. We are interested in students who are willing to sacrifice time on weekdays which will allow them to book their own jobs on the weekends, i.e. weddings, etc.
:: Who is this workshop for? ::
Whether you are a full-time photographer, a weekend warrior, or on the verge of turning professional, as long as one has a seriously desire to master the craft of photography, this is is workshop for you. Before coming to this workshop, we expect you to know how to use the camera in manual mode and have good understanding of the DSLR camera settings such as aperture, shutter speed, iso, metering, exposure & focusing.
:: What is our mentoring program goal? ::
The goal is to teach and develop photographers from the ground up and turn them into elite photographers through a year long teaching process that will cover all facets of portraiture and wedding photography. Scott will covers topics that are relevant to their learning and will provide coaching along the way to maximize their learning experience–ensuring their competence at each juncture. Every lecture is at least three hours featuring Scott himself or a special speaker who is an expert on the lesson topic. The optional live session with models consist of 3 hours of practical hands-on learning and experimentation on exposure, lighting and posing.
::What should I expect?
Lecture - Scott’s lectures will focus on mastering various techniques on lighting and posing. He will demonstrate how he achieves his award winning imagery; how he interacts with clients to maximize their beauty, how to bring out emotion, how to work with difficult clients, how to find amazing light and how to create it with the use of flash and video light. He will also cover how to modify light with the use of gels, snoots, umbrellas, etc. Scott is an expert at using the most basic equipment yet achieve world class imagery.
Lectures Featuring Special Speakers – Guest speakers will be experts on the topic that they will be speaking on, highly skilled and knowledgeable in real life application. We want to offer the very best learning experience for students not only learning from Scott himself but from other world class photographers/instructors.
Live Shoot Sessions – An opportunity for mentees to apply the techniques they have learned on exposure, lighting and posing and to create marketable images with impact. On the scheduled live shoot session we will break into groups of 4-5, participants will take turns directing a specific set up with a model(s). The leader will be allowed 3-4 minutes to complete their vision. Yes, this is a very nerve wrecking experience but we want to duplicate a typical scenario any professional photographer on assignment would encounter. The live shoot portion of the workshop is an intensive boot camp on posing, lighting, exposure, small flash/video lighting.
:: Is transportation provided? ::
Each student is responsible for their own transportation to workshop locations. However, carpooling to workshops is encouraged–to minimize the number of vehicles at shooting locations, minimize parking costs and more importantly, an opportunity to get to know each other better.
:: What happens if I have to cancel? ::
