David was accessable, professional and truly interested in each of us. Made us feel special with his individual attention. Shevaun Williams, former workshop participant

Light is the beating heart of a compelling image. While many elements must align for a portrait to truly evoke emotion and convey meaning, it is light that ultimately tells the story. To speak powerfully with our photographs, we must not only master the technical aspects of the craft but also understand and utilize light to communicate our vision.

The best way to begin to master these techniques and fine-tune our personal vision is to reduce light to its simplest form: one source.

The simplicity of using one light source creates an environment rich with opportunities to connect with our subjects and thereby create compelling portraits.

In two fully-packed intense days, David guides participants as they explore numerous possibilities for using one light to express their ideas and emotions. Through lectures, class discussions, demonstrations, hands-on studio work, and critiques, you work with David to build a solid understanding of light, grasp the importance of simplicity in approach, and develop ways to collaborate comfortably with our subjects.

You come away with the technical and artistic tools necessary to express your vision and define your own unique visual language.

Tuition for this Intensive includes two lunches.
