OOHH... THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN!

TWO NEW CLASSES FOR YOU GUYS TO GET STARTED ON:

TOTALLY VOLUNTARY

MARKETING AND PROMO MATERIALS

This is an additional and totally free class that is considered extracurricular. If you want to look it over, start to plan your promos and marketing materials that is just fine. Do not worry about any mention of assignments, they are not a part of this program.

Lot's to consume there, so have fun and ask questions during regular class hours.

NEW:
30 DAYS OF PHOTOSHOP (FREE)

If you are not proficient in basic Photoshop, may I highly suggest you take this free course at Phlearn. 30 short, but excellent Photoshop tutorials designed to teach you how to think about and use the basic power of Photoshop. It will certainly come in handy as we begin the classes.

Password: F1ndPh0t0N0w

This class is open to you as well as members of P52. Please review it when you have begun to put your book together and look for work. We will refer to it many times in the class, so becoming familiar with what is there is important.

NEWS: MAY 22, 2021

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO SIGNED UP! I AM EXCITED FOR THIS CLASS.

You are early bird registrations so you will be receiving some perks.

I need your physical address to send your book and print to you. More goodies coming as we go through the class.

If you have not sent a physical address, send it here with subject line “Address for Book”.

There will be lots more coming to this page for the rest of May and June, so keep checking back.

GEAR AND GEAR LIST: There is a page of gear where you can get what you need from Amazon. It is on the right side of this page.

YOU NEED:
A boom – C-Stand is best, but a good tripod stand and boom will work.
Stands – at least three.
Tripod for holding your camera.
Lighting: I recommend strobes, but continuous will work for most shoots.
Scrims (2): you can make them yourselves. There are instructions here.
Photo Clamps, Gaffer’s tape, A-Clamps
Fome Core and white bounce cards 24×48 would be a good start. You will need a few of them.

A way to shoot tethered into your laptop or computer.
