Happy Spring!
I'm so glad, the birds are chirping, the sky is cerulean blue, the pastel green of the trees is lovely and the May flowers are in bloom. Great time to be photographing outdoors!
It is the perfect time of year to have my all-time favorite workshop, Portraits Unplugged, May 30 and 31.

This is a non-technical workshop since it's all about finding and using natural light effectively to make flattering and interesting portraits. We do use reflectors and diffusers and I have a lot of Sunbounce gear for you to play with. We'll work with window light, backlight, direct sunlight with diffusers, open shade, deep shade and garage door light. It's really about learning to "see" the available light and then finding the backgrounds that work with it. The point is always about having a concept for the portrait, deciding the mood and feeling, then discovering how to use what's available to make an interesting portrait. Many photographers come to this class thinking that they already have a good grasp of working naturally, but there is so much to know! We will have some wonderful models and shoot on both days. I only teach this workshop as a week long in Santa Fe in the winter and here in CT, so this is a great opportunity to take it now!
The following weekend, June 6 and 7, Robert Meyer and I are teaching Posing and Directing.

This is also a popular class that began as a suggestion from one of my students (hi, Brian Wall!). Robert and I together have many years experience working with all kinds of people, from temperamental fashion models to corporate executives to families with screaming kids. We will help you with both of these important issues: how to create a rapport with your subject so you can guide them to be natural and relaxed, and how to pose everything from headshots, 3/4, full length, couples and groups. We have exercises to guide you and also wonderful models to work with.
Both of these classes normally sell out, so please sign up soon to guarantee your spot!
Next up is the Travel Photography Workshop, June 13 and 14, taught by the dynamic and fun loving Bill Sumner.

Bill has photographed for travel bureaus, hotels and spas for clients in Florida, Mexico and the Caribbean. He will share with you his love for color and design, his incredible sense of light and his ability to talk to anyone, anywhere, any time. The shooting will be challenging, interesting and fun. This is one workshop not to be missed!
Please also check my website for my summer workshop schedule at Maine, Santa Fe and the new CT Photo Institute in Tunxis, CT.

See you soon,
