I’m proud to announce that some impassioned UK photographers have arranged for me to be teaching in the UK. I’ll be traveling across the blue yonder to the United Kingdom for the first week of June as we have scheduled two workshops - the first on June 2nd and 3rd in Warwickshire - the second on the 3rd and 4th of June near London. Read on through to the workshop page for full details. The first five workshop spaces are discounted for each location, however with the overwhelming interest from all the UK photographers there’s only two left for the Midlands schedule already.
Hit the pub with me!
Even if you can’t personally attend the whole workshop experience I encourage you to stop off for a pint with me on June 1st at the open to all pub party in Birmingham; and again on the 3rd near London. We’ll be announcing the location as soon as we have a sense of the turnout so pop your name in the comments if you’d like to notified of the location as it’s finalized. From the looks of it, I think the British may actually get my sense of humor, and maybe we’ll get to meet some of the strobists.
I’ll shoot your wedding in the UK!
I will be arriving early in the UK and hope to shoot a wedding on the 31st of May if any of you know someone who would like a sensitive eye to document their love, and do some ultra hot portraits. I do have a nice portfolio of stuff, however nothing from England! I can imagine shooting at a great old castle or estate somewhere with an evening mist coming up….contact me through my wedding site if you’re interested or have a referral.

Well, JetBlue cancelled my flight yesterday 24 hours before it was to take off. I guess they’re in a mess of trouble and I’m going to have to avoid them till they clear things up. I managed to get to Boston however, and it seems there were some problems there too. I breezed through however and made my way to New Hampshire for the Make Light Real workshop.
Well, we’ll be having class here tomorow. 8-9 great photographers coming in for a little creative boost, some technical excercises to get a handle on lighting. The attendees are: Raluca Chase Jeremy Heflin, Enna Grazier, Laura Klein, Alyssa Duncan, Curt Johnson, and David Murray
Here’s the space we’ll be working in at Lumina Portrait Design & Geneve Hoffman Photography the host for the event.

Hey everyone, I’ve scheduled some more dates for the Lighting Workshop coming up in Atlanta Georgia, Phoenix Arizona, and Peoria Illinois.
I call my lighting workshop: “Make Light Real” because we look into how to use artificial photographic strobe sources in the most natural way. you can read a bit about the though process on my site but there’s nothing like doing the real thing! We we have a day full of short illustrated lecture followed by hands on training and experimentation.
The Workshop is for photographers who want to free themselves from the limitations of location, and enable themselves to better capture and create with light at their command. Illustrated lectures by me and hands on excercises illustrating the principles of contrast and composition for photographers who wish to enlighten their creative process. The workshop will personally motivate your ability to see more possibilities by mastering the use of light. The course exercises will help you create a comparative catalog of lighting effects and properties and leave you continuing to learn from every shoot you do. The workshop will include all day instruction, a 3300k shoe flash filter, textbook, notes and lunch. Class size will be limited to 12. The fee for the day is $250.
