Taking My Show On The Road to San Diego on May 9th!



One of the coolest and most fulfilling things I've done in my time as a photographer is to coach other people and watch them grow.  I had to figure out a lot of stuff on my own, and I always wished there was someone I could've leaned on when I was learning studio lighting.
Understanding studio lighting and off-camera flash is one of the best things you can do as a photographer because it's a skill that instantly separates you from the pack.  You don't necessarily have to be a "studio photographer" to learn studio lighting or even have to use it all the time.  But for those tricky situations where you need a little boost, or the times when you want to be a little more creative, it's nice having the tools and the knowledge tucked away in your back pocket. :)

This year at WPPI, I made a few new friends from Southern California, and as we got to chatting, we thought it would be a good idea to bring my lighting clinic on the road to SoCal.  After a lot of planning, I'm thrilled to announce the date of my San Diego Lighting Clinic will be on Saturday May 9th, 2015!  As an added bonus, I've been able to secure Anastasiya (the woman in the image above) to model for us at the clinic!

The location will be at the Hilton Garden Inn in Rancho Bernardo, just north of downtown San Diego.  If you'll be in the area or have friends in the area who might be interested, please feel free to share this post with them

To maximize the experience for attendees, I'm limiting the seats to only 20.  I hope to see you there!
