    Join Hunt’s Photo Education and Westcott lighting representative JC Carey for another entry in our series of portrait workshops where we will be creating dynamic lighting scenarios involving athletes, both posed and in motion! Attendees will learn about how to create amazing portraits using a mixture of natural light and flash, understand subject placement, when and why to use strobes (and where to place them), and will end up with some excellent portfolio-building images!

    This workshop will be co-taught with Hunt’s Photo Education’s Paul Nelson and Westcott lighting representative JC Carey.  We will use Westcott strobes and have a series of student/athlete-models available for the shoot.

    Join us for a fun and dynamic workshop!

    Joseph “JC” Carey is a lifetime image maker that like so many photographers was terrified of lighting until he was gifted with a lighting class in 2007. The class wasn’t very good, but it lit a fire. That gift changed everything. It transformed him from someone that barely took pictures of people and knew nothing about lighting into someone still trying to figure out how to light everything.
