For years I have enjoyed doing what I passionately love and enjoy, for the past several years I have fallen in love with my new passion which is teaching the art of photography to others.

Taking beautiful pictures is not only a great thing to know but also it can turn in to a much more serious career as it did for me

When I started photography almost 30 years ago, I had no idea that’s what I was going to do for the rest of my life, all I had was a nikon f3 and a Nikon 50 mm 1.4 lens and a gorgeous girl friend that let me take her picture all the time, after a while we had so much fun doing it that we spent most of our free time shooting.

A few short months later she was recruited by Elite after I submitted her pictures to them, and the rest is history, in a less than a year I was shooting for all the top agencies and modeling schools and local businesses making enough money to put me and my GF at the time through college

Till this date I don’t even know how 27 years went by so quickly, I guess it’s true when they say ” Time flies when you are having fun”  and truly I have had a blast! Traveled the world doing what I love, and enjoying every second of it, and now I am blessed with the experience and the knowledge that can help many more like me to reach their dreams

My photography workshops are not like any other photography classes or photography lessons you have seen or experienced, I personally create and manage a set of very specific methods and techniques that helps each individual to learn some of the trade secrets that took me years to learn in a matter of  hours or days, and I guess that’s what sets my photography workshops apart from others.

It does not matter if you are a professional photographer or just got started, my private one on one Photography Classes are guaranteed to give you the push and support needed to get you on your feet and well on your way to become independently creative

This is one of my favorite fashion headshots of Tanya, we actually did not plan for this shot at all, as she was getting her hair cut I happened to have my camera handy and a small soft box was used to get the soft defused lighting

Fashion photography can sometimes be so simple and having a top fashion model is always helpful to capture beautful images that can make a life time impression

PHOTOGRAPHY LIGHTING WORKSHOPS LOS ANGELES

Many photographers wonder what is the best lighting for beauty or fashion photography? Indoors or outdoors?
Strobes or continuous, incandescent or Fluorescent and I always say it makes no difference what type of lights is available to you as long as you know what to do with it.

In my 30+ years of professional life as a fashion photographer I have tried almost every possible lighting scenarios you can imagine, from a 10 dollar home depot halogen light to a $10.000 studio lights and I must say that I have managed to make some of the most interesting images with the cheapest lights

I still prefer the good old natural light over anything, no other lights can even come close to the most beautiful colors created by mother nature
Especially right before the sunset, or as we photographers call is the Magic hour!

No matter what type of light is going to light up your subject, the most crucial piece to a fantastic photography is your GLASS, by that I mean your lenses, and I have a few favorites, like my fixed 85mm 1.4 or even the 50mm 1.1 which would allow me to shoot in almost any lighting situation
Perhaps it is a good idea to have a small tripod with you at all times if you are planning to shoot at a low shutter and a higher aperture setting

I normally don’t like to go any lower than 1/60th of a second if I am shooting a live subject, but I also like longer exposure for interiors with available indoor lights like shooting inside a mall, or a building.

As you know the longer the exposure the crisper and more defined your none moving subjects going to be, but all of your moving subjects become either blurry, or if the exposure is long enough they will completely disappear from your shots.

The possibilities are endless once you get a better grasp of your lighting as well as your camera’s setting.
Film or digital, photography and photographers are only as good as their imaginations.

Photography has always been my passion and the biggest part of my life, and if anyone asked me for a few pointers, I’d say to them

1-Expand your horizons by looking at great master photographers work
2-Shoot something every day
3-Never settle for mediocre shots
4-Create a great team
5-Think outside of the box
6-Own a few great lenses
7-Make images that you will be proud of
8-Create your own style
9-Be open to challenges
10-And finally, Understand your blacks, whites and mid-tones

and if you do that, you should be in a great shape and have some amazing images
