I'm starting a group of people who are interested in learning more about digital photography, preferably with their DSLR camera. It's come to my attention that many people make that leap from a point-and-shoot to DSLR and yet and not sure how to utilize their new toy to it's fullest potential. I've been a semi-professional photographer of sports, portraits, and weddings for nearly four years and am an enthusiast of new techniques, new gear, and new subjects. Subjects can be people but can also …

I would like to create events where people get together to take portraits of each other. I came up with this idea of creating this group, because I own a Nikon DSLR and found that it is hard to take pictures of myself with this clunky camera, so instead I have lots of photos of friends but not much photos of myself. I figure there should be lots of people out there in same predicament as me. so the idea is we come with interesting and adventurous locations where we can bring our cameras and help …

This group was inspired by the hundreds of workshops I have given all over the US. Photographers were asking for ways to build their portfolios with high quality images and unique concepts. They were running out of ideas / did not have ideas, could not find models, locations or sets and were hitting a wall. After all a photography web-site filled with photos of your dog or your own children might not say "professional" in a way you want it to. This is what we will do here. The instructors will a …

After graduating from Brooks Institute of Photography and working as the still photographer for a film production studio, I didn't hesitate to take on any photography challenges. It wasn't long before I realized my photography was lacking the quality set by the industry leaders. I had the education, I had the camera gear and I had a fully equipped studio but my work just didn't have that edge! I went back to my fundamentals and realized I was not using the basic principles of lighting. 1. We wil …
