Kevin recently had the opportunity to attend Sandy Puc’s “Hands-On Photography Workshop” at the Holiday Inn in Kansas City. It was a great evening full of photography industry experts like Sandy Puc, Chuck Arlund, Craig Stidham, and several others. They were sharing about lighting, posing, and shooting and gave photographers the opportunity for small group instruction with live shooting sessions with models and various lighting set-ups. There are so many ways to capture amazing shots using different lighting equipment and techniques! It was a great evening experimenting with different styles! Here are a few favorite photos from the evening and what lighting set up was used for each…
This was shot with a diffused beauty dish.
This series was shot was with a diffused beauty dish just a couple feet from model to create soft light with deep shadows.

This was shot with a Speedlight a couple of feet away from the model. Set the camera to the background exposure then adjusted the power of the Speedlight.
