Short Intro

Hey there! Rose and Michael here!

We are very excited to be dropping our first SFX-themed workshop, where a handful of incredibly talented creatives will be joining us to create some truly badass special effects looks on a few of our favorite models. This is truly a themed workshop you do not want to miss.

This workshop is open to photographers from entry-level to professional and is at a first come, first serve basis.

What to expect at the SFX Workshop

Before shooting, we will discuss and go over how to set up and use the flash triggers, how to mount and control lighting stands, and the basics of lighting. We will discuss and practice lighting settings, setting up backdrops, and depth and location of where to place a model for our standard studio sets.  All details of how we will achieve our looks will be discussed during the workshop. 

Themes and sets will be pre-determined and lighting is subject to change as we let our creative collaboration unfold. 

What is expected to be gained from this workshop

You will be capturing an assortment of awesome images with models collaborating on this workshop. You will be able to use these images in your portfolio to show off your new skills, and hopefully gain some new connections! 

What you'll need

You'll need your camera and lenses. We will have flash triggers for everyone.

Closing

We are very excited to be hosting workshops and this is only the first step to so many to come. Once the intimidation factor of working in the studio is out of the way, there are endless set-ups and themes to learn. Keep an eye out for workshops about advanced lighting, gels/color, light modifiers, posing, post-production, the business of photography, and so much more!

Grab your ticket and we'll see you there!
