This workshop will be an all day event on Sunday, Feb 1, that covers the basics of Adam's meticulous lighting techniques.
Application of these techniques is what allows him to create his reality-suspending images without the use of digital effects or post-production.

Workshop itinerary includes demonstration, discussion, and test shooting of lighting techniques applicable to artistic nude, glamour,
and portrait photography, with a model on set.

The second half of the day will include individual shooting opportunities for all participating photographers with Featured Model NevaehLleh,
and full hair/makeup by Lisa Berczel. Photographers will receive a promotional model release for portfolio use of images shot at this event.

Registration for this workshop is limited to 8 photographers.
Workshop fee of $175 ($180 through PayPal) must be paid in advance.

Lunch is provided, and fee includes promotional model releases from workshop models.

For complete details and registration information, please visit the workshop web site.

For inquiries, information, or registration, please contact the studio at studio@dm-gremlin.com, or call 866-334-4364.

Oh, Rosie!

Thank you so much for hanging in those chains all afternoon. I have a couple of images soon to post, from that series, and I'm sure our workshop participants have many even more fantastic. Not to mention Adam's!

I was already going to post with a note about how our crowd kind of takes for granted doing things like hanging in chains, but that you ended up with some pretty deep pressure marks. And I'm not surprised some bruises too.

Not to mention that other thing on your face from the shoot afterward!

We had a great time yesterday and learned a lot about different lighting while getting some amazing shots...

Thanks to Adam & Wendy for the workshop, Lisa for the Makeup and especially Emobi & Rosie for the amazing modeling. Who knew chains and oils mixed so well...

Cheers

Keith & Caroline

:sigh: Rosie, I must apologize to you for not having sufficient appreciation for your beautiful breasts.

My shame is showing!

I'm glad you like the shots! You know the drill, repost them in portfolios as desired!

Awesome shots, Keith, it's so great of you to share all of these, from the candids to the finished images. I hope we'll see some of Caroline's, too!

I just put a few of my images from the day into an album on my gallery site:
http://www.starkravenmusic.com/gallery/main.php/v/Travel/workshop090201/

Some candids/"in class" images, and then some more polished images as well.

I'll attach a couple of my favorites here, but for anyone who wants to see more, feel free to check out the gallery album!

Thank you all for a great time. It was such a great class. I was very surprised with the pictures I was able to get since I have never touched a studio light in my life. Of course it is very tough to take a bad picture of our beautiful models. Thank you both for hanging in there. Literally! Well I'll post more photos when I get some free time to organize all the photos I took. Thank you again Wendy and Adam, I'm sure I'll be back for more workshops.

Alex, thank you so much as well. Excellent shot of Emobi, and we hope one thing you took from the workshop was the confidence that you CAN take great photos, and the tools to know how to do it next time and every time forward!

We'll look forward of course to seeing further images from you if you would like to share them when you have the opportunity.

And of course, if you decide to come back for the Advanced workshop with Adam on 3/15, please let us know! Otherwise, the workshop series is continuing and we will definitely have more workshop offerings on into the future!

Keith, that's great. I love the abstract element to it.

I know what you mean by "fluke," but it take a lot of solid preparation, good eye, and quick catch to grab that "fluke" into a great shot. Nice job!

We're really looking forward to Sunday, too!
