See the light….
March 19, 2010So my first day at WPPI in Las Vegas, NV was jam packed and I got a chance to attend a lighting workshop by the Bui Brothers. These guys rocked it, due to rain and weather change and lots of traffic from people, they constantly needed to change locations but make the lighting workshop which focused on getting the perfect headshot. We had some great models and it was my first attempt in photographing Las Vegas and testing some lighting scenarios. I really felt like a rookie at this workshop, but it was a good feeling, I think whenever we feel or think we know it all it is time to be doing something else. They went over some basic lighting info such as finding a great lighting source and put subject facing it to avoid shadows around eyes, this being said in cloudy scene, it was sunny, models would be squinting eye. Another great tip was the squatting position is great for getting the perfect headshot and last but not least a 3 lighting set up to get some cool lighting affects and play and have some fun. It was awesome to immediately connect with some new friends, Shannon and her husband, Hennesey, meet the very cool Mike Larson and catch up with Mr. Eric Farewell as well as meet Lan and Vu. Here are some sneaks for eye candy.
