Senior Boys 
PSH Ditto Cam Senior Boys

Shooting Senior Guys

The High School Senior market is one of the largest markets in the industry, and senior guys are sometimes largely overlooked.

Guys don't like their picture taken, at least many of them. So making them comfortable  by designing a shoot that concentrates on their interests takes the pressure off them and allows them to pose naturally indoors or out.

We'll take a look at how we do this in the studio. Using simple hand held props such as musical instruments, sports equipment, and favorite things such as pets we can put the subject at ease and let the natural emotion flow.

How to work with the model and put them at ease is also important. What music should you be playing, what wardrobe should they bring, should makeup be done. These and many other details will be reviewed.

We can also express their interest in things like computers and games without even showing a screen by building a set that looks like a games room.

Our session will also include a post production how to. We'll work some of the images right from the shoot and produce the final copy for the subject. You'll see all the post production tricks we use for our senior boys and how we can deal with mild to severe acne.

Basics of Studio Lighting
PSH Ditto Cam - Basic Studio Lighting

Basic Studio Lighting

Setting up a home studio? Wondering about lighting gear and accessories? Thinking about how to make it all work? Then this is the session for you! 

This is a great starting point if you're new to studio photography. Many of our new users are wanting a grounding in studio lighting before attending our more advanced workshops.

We'll review the basics of studio work including the types and brands of lights, how to measure the light, your camera's sync speed, and multiple light setups. This will give you a strong foundation before moving onto our other workshops.

We'll also look at space, ceiling heights, and how to set up some basic  lighting that gets you started in your first studio.

The Pin-up

The Pin-up

This generation is turning back the clock - Lets join them 

The hottest thing of the 50's is back again today. The Pin Up.

Popularized by such artists as Gil Elvgren and Alberto Vargas, these images became a staple of glamour that lasted for decades.

Interestingly, these  images were not photographs, but illustrations. Today, Pinups are back again in a big big way, but with an even bigger challenge. We must make our photographs take on the appearance of illustrations.

Join us as we go thru the steps from initial concept, sourcing the props, shooting the pose, and doing the post production of the final image. This will be the most fun you've had with a camera.

Shooting Portraits for Dating Sites - for Fun and Profit
PSH Ditto Cam Seminar

Shooting Portraits for Dating Sites - for Fun and Profit

People today are reaching out to the ever popular dating or match maker sites for companionship. As a photographer, I get these calls often.

What makes this type of session unique and challenging for the photographer, is to come up with the one single shot that not only displays the individual in the best possible way, but to tell something about who they are, their age group, and maybe even their interests.

It starts with a prior consultation and getting to know the customer. This can be done in person or over the phone, but the point is to find out a bit of their personal style and what exactly they think they want their portrait to look like.

This will result in a shooting plan including what wardrobe they will bring, and what drops, props and accessories you want to have for the shoot.

In this shoot, we'll review posing and lighting for both male and female models. We'll also talk about how we can make the lighting look "age appropriate".

This session will push your creative abilities as it draws on all the classical lighting techniques we already know.

We'll follow up with a marketing discussion and look at ways we can attract more of this type of business.
