THE LIGHTING & SKILLSET BOOTCAMP WITH CLIFF MAUTNER
BIG Congratulations from Triple Scoop Music to our friend Cliff on his 'Top 10' listing in American Photo!
From Cliff:
"During the past few years since I've been doing workshops and seminars, the most common denominator for all of my students has been the need to develop their own style. After 26 years of shooting I've come to believe the only way to accomplish this is to become one with your camera. Seeing with your mind's eye is a lot different than just looking through your viewfinder. In order to accomplish the former, a photographer's skill set must be first and foremost before they can begin developing their own style.The goal of this workshop is for every photographer in attendance to drastically improve their skills and give them the confidence to go after their own style."
The workshop will feature:
- Various technical aspects and a deeper understanding of your gear.
- A multitude of creative flash techniques.
- Lighting your subjects from noon to midnight.
- Live bridal shoots on location in Philadelphia.
- Individual hands-on instruction during shoots.
- Techniques in capturing the essence of our clients.
Other topics covered will be:
- Client interaction and relationships.
- Sales presentation skills including a mock presentation.
- Building a referral base through vendor/partner relationships.
- Client retention.
