St Petersburg and Tampa, May 17th / 18th, 2008

Only One Spot left on Saturday
Only One Spot left on Sunday

Announcement:
Briana will be attending both days and shooting with all the attendees.

Briana is one of my favorite models and people. She has joined the team here at Lighting Essentials and will be coming to Florida with me. She will be handling some of the workshop duties, but will mostly be learning the ropes of taking this thing on the road. She will also be modeling for all the attendees as well as the local models that we will be casting. Just thought you all would like to know.

Bring camera, flash(s), lenses and plenty of media cards. If you have a meter, bring it. If you don't know how to use your meter, you will after this workshop. Also bring your reflector kits if you have them. Make sure all your gear is tagged with your name. I use nail polish to give my gear a subtle personalization.

Saturday Models:
Ashlyn Saturday Morning	Yanary Saturday Morning	Rahel All Day
Brittney All Day	Amanda Afternoon	LAfi
Sunday Models:

NOTE: Please bring you checks/money orders or cash with you on the workshop day you are scheduled for.

Models. You will have a ton of images for your portfolio after this workshop. I do ask that you send the models images for their portfolios as well.

I will be there as long in the evening as you all want me to stay.

This workshop is about learning to light, not listening to me bluster on, so there is very little of that. We focus on taking your photography to the next level... and maybe two. I will add some more info to this page as it comes in.
