WOW!!! Thursday’s Lighting Seminar was such a rush. Big thanks are in order to Samy’s Camera and Marty Glickman of Profoto for donating all of the lighting gear that John demonstrated. Thank you to Shannon Lott for taking photographs throughout the day and to Adam Lopez for video taping. Also thank you to everyone who attended – you are the reason the seminar was so great! I can’t believe the number of people who flew in (from as far as South Carolina, Florida and Connecticut to name just a few states) to participate. Check out some of the super nice comments!!
“I learned more than my college courses in only one day! wooo hooo! I wanted to thank you so much for all that you showed me. You’re an incredible girl with a enormous heart. I admire the fact that you will share what you know with others, not many people like that in this world…. I will forever keep the information I learned as my foundation. ” Christina – Bakersfield, CA

Here I am wrapping up my presentation:
Our fantastic participants:
John used me as a model for a few of his lighting set-ups, and I loved how the images came up on the wall seconds after he shot them!
And a big group shot to end the day!
you are SUCH a ham for the camera 😉
Jules, thank you for tag-teaming with John and putting up an awesome seminar topic that hits every photographer right between the eyes: lighting. I LOVED how you and John both offered up different views and approaches. Glad to hear that you will be making this a regular thing.
And hey…we’ve gotta wean you off of that PowerPoint!! 😉
the lighting seminar was action packed with lots of good info. i just rented some gear and i’m going to shoot tomorrow using some of the things i learned! thanks again for sharing your skills!
Wow! Who’s that suave fellow doing the talking? He must have had lots of really smart things to say.
Hi Jules – Just thought I’d wander over and check out the photos from the day. I like the one of you with one of my shots in the background. Cool! I didn’t even know Shannon was taking photos.
I had a great time. We’ll do it again!
John

John is experienced and knowlegable and help take the guess work out of lighitng while Jules is very hands on and creative in her lighting solutions. She has an infectuous personality and is incredibly inspiring! Great job to both of you!
