Come Join Gary & Ron to learn how to make great summer photos!
I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be holding another Photography Workshop on Saturday May 26th, 2012 in Seattle, but this time with photography legend Gary Parker. Limited spots are available, so interested parties should act quickly. See the end of this article for more details on enrollment. To quickly see how much fun students had at Ron’s last workshop, click here.

Learn composition from a whole new perspective
Gary Parker is not your average photographer.
He doesn’t see the world like you.
Gary has a gift of seeing the world differently and capturing the most amazing shots in situations where most people wouldn’t even have their camera with them. It’s both amazing and liberating to see how he does his magic because it’s not formulaic or tedious. Gary just knows how to get the shot and does a great job of sharing his enthusiasm with others to help take your photos to the next level!
Tired of the boring same old mug shots? This workshop may be just the ticket!
Details
This workshop is designed for both beginners and seasoned photographers. The theme of this class will be taking photos of people with an emphasis on composition and lighting in an outdoor environment.
The class will begin at approximately 9:30 AM in Renton, WA and will end at approximately 4:00 PM in Seattle. The duration of the teaching portion of the workshop will be roughly 5 hours. A lunch break and travel time are built into the schedule.
This session will include at least one model for 3 hours (Raia pictured below, confirmed) and possibly a second.
Raia
After the morning outdoor shoot, we will spend the last part of the day outdoors in Seattle around Pikes Place Market.
- You will be able to learn how to improve your photography and on-camera flash skills outdoor in real world situations. You will have access to Gary, Ron and an assistant to get your questions answered and to help you get your best shot.
- You will get group as well as one-on-one instruction from both Gary and Ron at EACH location as well as the boot camp in the evening. It is for this reason this won’t be a workshop of 20 people so one-on-one interaction is the plan.
- Food will not be included in the price but we will stop together as a group and have a quick bite (i.e., pizza, subs, etc…) near the first location. Those with special diet needs should plan to bring their own lunches. Everyone should also bring water and snacks from home.
- You will be responsible for transportation and parking expenses between events, but I hope to carpool. I will bring my SUV and can take up to 4 people with me, so contact me ASAP after payment if you want one of those spots. Out of town guests and those who don’t own a car will get priority seating with me. I am not responsible for theft or damage of gear, laptops stored in my vehicle which will not be able to conceal your gear left in the car from view. It is therefore recommend you carry your gear with you in a comfortable backpack like those from Think Tank Photo.
- There will be no handouts, so you are responsible for your own note taking materials or devices.Video recording of the class is prohibited.
- The only gear required is your Digital SLR camera (no point and shoots, Rangefinders, etc…), but you may find having an external flash and/or remote radio triggered flashes handy. Extra memory cards and common photography accessories are encouraged as well. Both instructors are Canon shooters, so responses to technical questions for other platforms may be limited. Students should carry their product user manuals in their camera bags.
This class will take place rain or shine as the primary objective is to learn how to make great shots in any conditions. Dress and plan according to the weather!
