If you’re ready to make your outdoor photos look as good as your studio shots, this class is for you!

Some photographers that haven’t mastered studio lighting think the way around learning is to just shoot outside. Not so fast - Mother Nature can be very unforgiving!

My philosophy for outdoor photography is the same as in the studio. I want clean, crisp photos with nice separation and controlled highlights and shadows. My clients deserve to look their best!

Let me show you the techniques I’ve developed over the past 25 years utilizing fill flash, reflectors, scrims, silks, mirrors, and more. Learn the ratios you need to use to get that perfect balance of natural light and fill light. Learn how to use you light meter!

Hardware: Cameras and lenses by Nikon, lighting by Elinchrom, Speedotron, Alien Bees, Mole Richardson, Nikon and more… Support gear by Matthews, Bogen, Avenger, and others.

Software: In all my classes you get to see my workflow and watch as images are imported, projected, and refined. I always have the latest version of Photoshop, Light Room, The Bridge, Camera Raw and others. I’ll compare JPEG to RAW and compare their features.

I guarantee you'll learn a lot and be ready to deliver better images to your clients!
