Lighting Workshop by hjbenson

Lighting Workshop

Celebrity Photographer John Russo http://www.johnrussophoto.com/ gave a talk last night and a Lighting Workshop today at Richard Stockton College. He graduated from Stockton in 1994 - he went there while I was teaching there, but I never had him as a student. I learned a lot from his workshop both using natural light and photography lighting equipment for studio work.

Very interesting collage Harry. It also reminds me (and some what intimidates me) that there is so much to learn - never ending - in photography.

@buggus Thank you Oleta, one of the interesting things he said was you take a women portrait straight on and men on a slight angle to get a little bit of shadow in.

@pamfromcalgary Thank you Pam, learning on subjects that you enjoy is a lot of fun.
@beamqueen Thank you Rachel, I tried to show a highly rated professional in action; Indoors he has the camera tethered to a big screen hdtv so he can immediately see the results in a large size to make minor adjustments - the eos 60d can be tethered in this manner
