Default Studio / Location Lighing Workshop In Las Vegas

Did you miss out on the first seminar? Well now is your opportunity to Learn the Studio and Location Lighting techniques of Stock Photography that will dramatically increase your microstock earnings and work with live professional models. To top it off Lucky Oliver Carnies will receive $50.00 off their registration compliments of Lucky Oliver!

Join Bobby Deal (Photoshow) and Becky Abell (BeckyA) in Las Vegas for a fun and informative weekend workshop.

When: August 11th and 12th 2007

This will be a 2 day event and is open to the first 12 confirmed participants.

This workshop is not for the weak of heart. It will be packed with intensive classroom studies and hands on application. We will cover a wide range of topics related to shooting models for stock in the studio and on location.

Here is an overview of the weekend agenda

Day 1 – In Studio

Classroom instruction on the following. (2 hours)
***Models will be in makeup during class***

1. Learn about lighting equipment, ratios and techniques for creating full body model isolations in the studio
2. How / where to find models
3. TFP / TFCD VS. Paid
4. Model Releases and Contracts
5. Make Up Artists and Stylist, do I really need them?
6. Shooting Raw VS. JPG
7. After the shoot, post production workflow including PS Techniques for retouching.

In studio Demonstrations. (2 hours)

1. Hands on demonstration on setting up studio space for photo shoots. You will be present and involved in setting up backgrounds lights and modifiers with a Q&A session after the set up.
2. Live model shoots with Bobby and Becky. Here you will see how we shoot and interact with the models. You will have the opportunity to ask question as we shoot and even look through our view finder and see what we see when we shoot.

Lunch – (1 hour)

Hands On Model Shoots (4 hours)


After the demonstrations we will break into groups of 4 and will have the opportunity to shoot with multiple models while Becky and I assist YOU. Have a question, not sure how to do something, need help directing your model? Becky and I will be at your sides to share our experience and guide you through your shooting sessions.

We will be offering tips and tricks all along the way so that by the end of the day you will have the confidence and knowledge to begin doing your own Model shoots when you get back home.

Dinner – After the studio session we will all gather for dinner and open discussion on the days activities. After dinner you will all be free to disperse and enjoy the many entertainment and photographic diversions the great city of Las Vegas has to offer.

Day 2 – Morning Demo Session (2 hours)

On the morning of day two we will meet and caravan to an outdoor desert location to set up and shoot with the models. While our models are in makeup and hair we will have a demonstration session to familiarize you with the various equipment and techniques we will be using during our shoots for the day, here you will learn about using all sorts of light modifiers outdoors to create your light. As well as learning how to use the environment and artificial light to further enhance the light that Mother Nature provides you.

Location Shoot – Morning Session (2-3 hours)

This will be hands on guided shooting with multiple models. Again Becky and I and maybe a surprise guest photographer or 2 will be at your side to guide you every step of the way.

Lunch / midday break (2 hours)

Location Shoot – Afternoon Session (4 hours)

After lunch we will gather and travel to a second outdoor location to further explore the use of natural and artificial light on location to produce stunning shots with our models.

At the end of the workshop we can again meet for dinner to recap what we have learned over the weekend or disperse as desired.

There will be a minimum of 3-4 models available for all shooting sessions and models will be providing participants with signed model releases.

Workshop registration includes all model and makeup artist fees, wardrobe, props, ground transportation to and from locations and lunch each day.

Lodging, dinner and incidentals are not included in registration.

For registration information contact bobby@realdealphoto.com

Space is limited to 12 participants.

Guys, I went to Bobby's first seminar, so we thought we would sponsor the event. All LuckyOliver Carnies will receive a $50 discount.

I'm so stoked!!! Sure hope some other folks from TalkMicro can make it. Love to meet y'all!!! From what I hear through the grapevine, Bobby is an outstanding teacher and the photos I saw come through the queue from photogs who took his last class were awesome. Many of them improved way above their previous work.

Oooo, I would love to come... It's just that Las Vegas is not exactly next door and although I will have plenty of time by August... it's the ticket that is the problem!!
Bobby, I suggest you do a course in the Netherlands one day and I will already register now!!
Wish I could be there...

Yes lots I have just been a bit slow this last week due to an injury to my leg.

Becky has done a great job of negotiating $60.00 room rates for all the workshop attendees at the Monte Carlo which is located right in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip. This reflect a HUGE rate discount over the typical weekend rates of $200 - $400 a night for a Hotel on the strip.

Also several models are already booked and I will assemble some photos of them for you to see but it is looking like the response to the casting call for this workshop has been great and we should have models a plenty. Enough to even do some group shots.

I will keep you all updated as things progress. We still have 3 spots left for this workshop and now that room rates have been released I don't expect they will last long so if you want to attend you will need to act fast.
