After many requests, I’m finally going to do my first solo photography workshop on Saturday, September 10.
We’ll meet at The Bagel Bin Cafe in Rochester, New York at 10am. Bring a small sample of your work and we’ll get acquainted. For the purposes of getting rapid feedback, we’ll be working with digital cameras and laptops, so if you have them, bring them. Film shooters are welcome too… I’ll be using both flavors myself. While this is not a dedicated large-format session, I’m happy to help people with their old-fashioned wooden cameras just as readily as their Nikons. However, I do not get along with or understand Canons!
In keeping with the guerilla underground, home-brew nature of my antics, we’ll carpool to a series of locations around town. I’ll provide models and coaching. And, just in case you (or your spouse) have the heebie-jeebies about it… nobody will be naked, cracked out, or scary. Instead we’ll work with a nice male and female couple and another, maybe only slightly crazy, female model.
We’ll shoot until Sunset and wind things up at a local establishment of mutual choice.
By keeping the class size to four, I’ll be able to tailor my instruction to suit your individual skill level and needs.
The cost is $200 plus a $50 model fee and your personal expenses such as food and drinks, gas, film, etc.
All I ask for is a non-refundable $100 deposit to hold your place. On September 10 I’ll need the balance plus a simple liability waiver and photo release.
I’ll also do freelance one-on-one instruction on request.
While this is the first workshop I’ve organized for myself, I have lectured, led workshops, and taught college-level courses for the George Eastman House; the International Center for Photography; the Palm Beach Photographic Centre; the Visual Studies Workshop/SUNY Brockport; and Kodak’s infamous Center for Creative Imaging.
(But why pay for a middleman when you can buy direct?)
