Commercial Lighting - Fun & Fearless Tabletop Product Photography Instructor: Lara Grauer, CPP Product photography is very challenging and varied -it's at least as challenging as portrait photography, and in some ways maybe more. Lighting is an essential skill when working with objects, since pose and expression are not a factor. How can you harness the technical details and still be creative when working with inanimate objects? In this session, you’ll follow along with Lara Grauer on her recent commercial project, where she photographed a collection of over 200 pottery pieces for an upcoming book. Walk away knowing: ●What types of products you’re prepared to photograph ●How to create light that takes a back seat and emphasizes the object itself ●How to style objects with food ●When and how to get creative shots that combine lighting with other techniques | Studio Lighting - Learning How to See and Create Light Within a Studio Space Instructor:Matthew Weston, M.Photog.Cr, CPP, FP We will examine how to use the equipment you already own to create images within a studio | Off -Camera Flash - Sexy Location Lighting with Portable Strobes Instructor: Chris Wooley, M. Photog., Cr., CPP, FP Get that flash off your camera to add some depth to your location portraits. Instructor Chris Wooley will guide you through the fundamentals of off-camera flash -from “Getting Started” to “OCF Secrets”, you’ll walk away knowing not just how to use OCF, but how to make the most of it. We’ll dive into how Off-Camera flash works (and what gear is needed), go over the advantages and limitations of portable lighting, explore how High-Speed Sync (HSS) works, and actually learn to use location lighting.

In 2010, he established Almost Candid Photo, Frame & Fine Art, Kingston, WA, and in 2022 he moved and rebranded the business as AC Photography and Custom Framing Boutique in Bremerton, WA.

She married a Washingtonian native and started a portrait business in 2002 while holding a full time job in customer service and graphic design. She became a member of the Professional Photographer of Washington and was the treasurer, webmaster and board member. Currently she’s PPW’s chief delegator as the Executive Manager and has been a Professional Photographers of America member and Washington State councilor for 10 years. In 2008 she achieved her Masters from PPA with mainly landscapes. From that she learned that she’s more of a Jack of all trades and a true creative at heart. Being a perfectionist in photography, Photoshop allowed her to take her work to the next level by fixing mistakes from not getting it right in the camera. As she perfected her capturing skills, Adobe advanced the features of the Creative Suites. Adobe Camera Raw is her favorite tool since sliced bread. Faye’s teaching approach is remembering where she was when she was learning her techniques while passing on her skills to you. |
