Local photographer John Larkin has has been hosting a workshop for photographers in the area. Saturday school is geared toward helping photographers expand their creative and photographic skills.
On February 6th, our Saturday school topic was off-camera flash. We covered the basics and had an opportunity to shoot a model, Elizabeth, who was kind enough to brave the cold to be our subject. She was wonderful to work with. Since off-camera flash is something that I’ve been involved in for a while, I decided to step back and let the other class members indulge and didn’t start shooting until we were nearly done. Considering that the class of 13 were all trying to get her attention, Elizabeth was quite patient.
I also managed to get a shot of another local photog Val Sorrells. During a break in the action, I was able to get her close enough to my light that all I needed to do was focus and shoot.
I love Saturday school! It’s a great opportunity to get together with other photographers that I don’t see on a regular basis and share experiences and ideas. Thanks again to John Larkin for giving back to the community and helping others expand their skill set.
