Don’t Complicate Your Lighting!
Speaker: Ric Lewis (Website) (Social Media)
Are you a natural light photographer who wants to learn studio lighting? Are you new to off camera flash or continuous light? If you answered yes, this class is perfect for you. In this class I breakdown and simplify the most common portrait lighting setups. These setups are fool proof and guaranteed to deliver beautiful results every time. Learn to use lighting in a way that can evoke emotion or feeling from your image. Or, just learn how to get really beautiful light in a really easy and simple to remember way! It’s time to level up your photography and become more than a natural light photographer.
If You’re Not Taking Advantage Of Same Day Client Reveals What The F*ck Are You Doing?!?!
Speaker: Ric Lewis (Website) (Social Media)
Boudoir clients are the most excited the day of their session. Think about it! They’re feeling confident, empowered, recharged and on an emotional high from their session. This is the prime time to share with your client images from their session and increase your sales! This is when they’ll upgrade to a larger package or order more a la carte. Thus, increasing your profits!!! In this class, you’ll learn the techniques that I use in my session workflow to be able to do same day session reveals while ensuring images are already culled, edited, and ready to be printed!!!! Learn these techniques and learn how to apply them. Learn to reduce your editing and retouching time while still delivering quality work.
Retouching For Fine Art
Speaker: Ric Lewis (Website) (Social Media)
Since starting photography, one thing that I’ve been asked over and over again is “”How can I make my image look like a painting or like Fine Art?”” This class will be a combination of Hands-on and Lecture. You may not be shooting but you are welcome to bring your laptops and edit with me. In this class I teach you my post processing and editing work flow to create images that look like classical pieces of art. We will be editing images to look like and inspired by renaissance paintings. In the end, you’ll learn the tools, techniques, and tricks that you’ll need to have a portfolio worthy of an art gallery.
