Free workshop spot

There is a contest in progress right now at In Focus forum board. The contest is for one spot in the January workshop. You will need to be a member to see the contest, but registration is free as well as the forum board (one of the few that still are free). It's also one of the friendliest according to the members. So, if you are looking taking the January workshop and want a chance at a free spot, check out the contest.

Remember, you do need studio lights (at least 2, 3 is better) and a light meter to truly get anything out of the workshop.

The workshop is only $175, includes 6 lessons on basic studio poses, light forms, ratios, feathering your light, hi-key, hairlight and more. Plus 8 weeks (the lenght of the workshop) of one on one mentoring via the board, email or phone.
Three bonus lessons on using a speedlight and composition using rules of thirds.
Critiques are given on the main lessons and any bonus lesson you choose to do.
You will also be given access to a private forum on In Focus just for past and current workshop students.

Some things are just meant to be...

I've had so much positive feedback about the online workshop and so much interest from the In Focus forum, that I will have at least 2 more online workshops in 2009. The first one for 2009 will start on January 18th. I'm still working on how to have a live one day workshop next year. Maybe a get together in Ohio for In Focus members will be the best way to do that!

I have a couple of talented photographers to showcase from the workshop, so keep checking back!

To sign up, simply fill out the application to the right. This tells me what equipment you have and that you have the right equipment to get the most out of the workshop. It also give you a chance to ask any questions you might have.

Oh, and a word on mentoring. I still want to offer 1 on 1 online mentoring. It would include email and phone contact. This will be a much more intense program. I could only take 1 person at a time and it would last 12 weeks. You do need a good understanding of how to use all of your equipment as we will cover techniques for indoor and outdoor photography. As this program comes together, I will have more info.
