WHERE TO FIND THE UPLOADER
Hi folks…. glad you are here.
Class will begin on April 14th, 2017. That is when this page will go live with links to the first class, and lots of information. We will have our first webinars one week later as a meet and greet. It is very important to begin working on the first assignment as you get into the class. You will have access to the classes on this page. You also have access to the previous member’s work, so feel free to go poking around to see what they have done.
We will have four categories here:
Assignments
Assignment Images (Your images uploaded)
Assignment Critiques (The recorded webinars from Assignment Images)
2017 News and Info
These will be found in the drop down in the navigation above when we go live on April 14th.
NOTE TO ANY PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO HAVE TAKEN THIS CLASS BEFORE:
You will have a bit different twist to each of the assignments, and that twist/change will be noted on each assignment page.
Gear Information:
SPECIFIC IDEAS FOR GEAR:
Two Lights. (Speedlights / Strobes / Continuous Lighting)
Triggers to fire the strobes/speedlights
Modifiers: Softbox, Umbrella (convertible), Grid
Stands… twice as many as lights.
One Boom arm (small for speedlights, bigger for studio strobes)
Tripod
5-in-One Reflector
Fome Core boards, A-clamps, gaffers tape, a tiny tin of bees wax,
A light meter is highly recommended although not mandatory.
During the workshop we will be crafting a few lights, scrims, boxes and more. It will be an inexpensive way to add to your lighting kit.
Do not worry if you do not have all of this gear at this moment… you can add as you get started. I have a page on the site with links to popular items in the lower budget and higher budget areas. This does NOT have to cost you a fortune, but in order to this kind of work we need some basics.
Also lots and lots of resources and more.
Now that you are in the course, take some time to look around and see what others have been doing before you.
PLEASE READ IMPORTANT:
You must check this page every week minimum before the class starts. Please.
Lots of information coming each week.
