Pint & a Light “2 Lights and a Gobo” | Twin Cities Photo Workshops

Thursday, January 28, 2010 Posted in event, studio, workshop

Welcome back to the winter!
Our next seminar will showcase the talents of a dedicated photographer in our area, Mr. Ben Zvan (applause). Ben will be running everyone through the fun of utilizing multiple strobes in some common setups – and also working with a variety of modifiers to get some great effects/qualities to your light as well.
There will be time to shoot, and a couple of shooting stations at your disposal. As well as a selection of beverages.
Bring your “standard hot-shoe” equipped camera, memory cards, and a basic knowledge of how off-camera lighting works (ie. Lighting 101).
Please RSVP to me per the above email address.
Any questions, feel free to ask! Hope to see folks there!
Pat

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays | Studio Mendota Photography

Merry Christmas to everyone – and to all a good night! Even photographers have trouble getting a family photo for the Christmas card, so we use all of them!

So – ever wanted to take your photos just a little further? (even just a little?)

Find out what the addition of an off-camera light source can do for your photography…in a non-competative environment! Seriously, what better have you got to do on a Tuesday night in January?

He’s coming right along – more expressive, more ACTIVE, and obsessed with his feet. Still one of my favorite little guys to shoot! Thanks Mom, and Grandma too!

Hey guys — it was a little breezy and cool, but fall in Minnesota can be a weird one. Thanks for coming over to the park that day – great lighting and fall makes for a good backdrop!

Special congratulations to Meghan and John – way to go guys! What an absolutely outstanding day. From the ceremony, through our Trolley ride in DT Minneapolis, to a group shoot in the Guthrie spaces.

(God bless architect Jean Nouvel for designing the new Guthrie btw!)

Have fun in Hawaii!
