1st day of seminar will be on discussion of the topics, there will be no shooting to be done. Though there will be a hands-on practice in measuring lights using a flash meter. Groupings of 2 to 3 person will be done for the shoot on the following day.

2nd day, will be dedicated to shooting, and we will be doing it in groups of 3. There will be 3 times slots, 9am to 11:30am, 1:00pm to 3:30pm and a 4pm to 6:30pm. Participants should only come on their time slot, to avoid over crowding. During the shoot, each participant will be asked to conceptualize a lighting set-up to be done with their model, other participants on the same group will be assisting. After the participant finishes the shoot, other participant on the group will do the same, so the previous participant will now be acting as the assistant. (round robin system) Models and a professional make-up artist will be provided.

For the Critique session, this will allow fellow students and me to critique ones work, as they say getting better, needs one to realize its faults as to make sure to correct it the next possible time. Kindly bring 1 to 2 of your favorite photo from the photo session printed on at least 5R, ink jet prints on photo paper are acceptable. All photos will be posted on the wall for viewing.

This guarantees a hands-on set-up, thus learning from actually doing it rather than just listening. This will also make sure that the participant will the only one shooting at the time of his/her set-up, so he/she gets all the needed angles to complete the shoot, no more wrestling for a spot just to get the photo.

Seminar Price is P. 2,500.00 - inclusive of handouts and certificat of attendance.
