Images From the November Creative Portrait Workshop

Last week I hosted another one of my Creative Portrait workshops, in Columbus, Ohio. Students came in from Toronto, Portland, Asheville, and San Francisco to learn some of my lighting and camera techniques. Big thanks to @westcottlighting for providing the strobes, transmitters, and light modifiers, and to @nanliteusa for providing the LEDs.

My next workshop is January 25-26 and is at a discounted rate until December 15. There are only five spots FYI. More info, here.
