1 – Introduction to the Advanced Workshops

This program is freeing student’s creativity. Discover more by clicking HERE or HERE

The goal of this series of unusual and exciting workshops is to teach the advanced photographer how to use his/her camera with more control in a more creativity way by experimenting various topics in diverse circumstances: from very long exposure time to very fast shutter speed, from burst of studio flash to constant movie lighting.

You will discover professional technique and original methodology to build up your own mood by precisely controlling lighting (modeling and portrait).
With your camera, you will also record phenomenon invisible to your eyes (high speed, special effects, and painting with light).

The class is covering special effect and advanced post-production tips and technique for you to get an overall vision of the extraordinary (and funny) things you can achieve with your camera.

Modeling Shot needs both to master lighting set up and to get a concept in mind.

During the 9 weeks, you will also get feedback on your own work as the course contains pictures review to complete this great experience.

2 – Who is concerned?

This Advanced Photography Workshop course is adapted to all students who previously signed up to the Essential Photography Lessons.

Some experienced photographers are willing to join this series of Advanced Workshops directly.
However, according my experience, I know that they are often missing something important we had reviewed during my Essential Photography program.

3 – What is Covered

This program is a series of workshops designed for you to discover how extreme and diverse Photography can be in terms of set up, effect and subject. With this course you are going to discover highspeed, long exposure, painting with light, modeling with flash, building portrait with movie technique, special effect, and advanced Photoshop post-treatment. Your camera will no longer be the center of the teaching as the light set up, composition, choreography, and imagination are going to take over.
