OVERVIEW
Foundations workshop is focused on strengthening your abilities to see and create images that utilize an advanced understanding of where we start out with our cameras and vision. The all-day workshop moves beyond just learning how to make your camera work, and into an area that emphasizes producing images that marry our abilities and technique in creating compelling, attractive, and interesting photographs. More importantly, Foundations workshop is geared toward hands-on instruction in how to create images that say something more than a snapshot.
Join Jerod and Brian November 5th in Dallas for one day of intense training on Foundations where we will work on gaining an advanced understanding of photographic foundations. In one day we will go into in-depth coverage of the following subjects:
- Seeing Light 1: Color & Shadows
- Storytelling using Composition and Depth
- Competence with your camera
- Assessing images
- Seeing Light 2: Portraits
- Engaging basic off-camera lighting setups
- Getting comfortable with lightroom
Price: $325
The price for Foundations is $325.00 (catered lunch, model fee, and all the coffee you can drink included in the price), and you can register on the bottom of this page! You can also contact us (Brian, Jerod) (just put Foundations in the subject field).
Foundations is also sponsored by BlackRapid camera straps, and that means some free gear from arguably the best camera strap manufacturer out there!
If you really want to start moving beyond the basics and begin to build the way you see and achieve your images, Foundations workshop is purposed with that in mind: growing your photographic eye, deepening your understanding of light, and creating a workflow that complements your style of shooting.

Foundations workshop will be held at QuadPhoto Dallas, a large commercial and editorial studio managed by R.J. Hinkle. The address for the studio is:
