If you are looking to take your photography to the next level you need to know about studio lighting. Learn from JoAnne Kalish on August 27th at Unique University and from 12-4 learn the ins and outs of basic portrait and still life lighting.. The idea of studio strobes is daunting at first, however once you understand how to create lighting there are no limits to your photographic imagination. Ambient light is constantly changing and you have to work with what you have, using strobe lighting you are in total control of where and how much light should be in the image.
JoAnne will show you how to incorporate some basic lighting techniques using Dynalite strobe equipment. This seminar will cover basic 1- 3 lighting set ups utilizing different types of light modifiers in a variety of different photographic situations. Students will also learn studio basics such as metering, setups, as well as enjoying the freedom to photograph wireless with Dynalite’s built-in PocketWizard power packs. Bring your camera and your desire to learn. Sign up for $20 through Unique Photo and receive a $20 Unique Photo gift card entering the class on 8/27.
JoAnne Kalish’s passion for photography was born at age 18 picking up her first camera. She became one of the first women to shoot stories for “Sports Illustrated”: ice hockey, football, women’s basketball and Grand Prix auto racing kept her traveling and shooting around the country, including being hired by the International Olympic Committee to provide photographic coverage of the 1984 Olympic Games.
Having sold pictures to most major international publications (her pictures are published in 20 to 30 countries during any given month), Kalish turned her attention to advertising work and personal projects, including the current sensuality series. Her areas of visual interest include still life, portraiture, travel, lifestyle, fitness and underwater photography. In the advertising realm, she had picked up numerous awards, receiving international acclaim for her Claritin and Sports Authority ad campaigns.
As a host, Kalish traveled with actor Peter Strauss into the jungles of Panama to film an episode of ESPN’s “Canon Photo Safari.” She has led “American Photo/Popular Photography Magazine’s” Mentor Series Workshops, was invited to create a seminar on Sensuality and Beauty at the Palm Beach Workshop, and teams up with Joe DiMaggio to teach the DiMaggio/Kalish International Photo Workshops.

Join Dynalite VIP David Robin March 6 – March 12, 2011 at Sante Fe Workshops for an comprehensive seminar on Dramatic Portrait Lighting!
Portraitists, whether painters or photographers, are always confronted with the challenge of creating evocative and meaningful images of their subjects. In this workshop, David aims to decode this mystery and explore techniques to help participants develop their own unique voice and style.
Portraiture is a collaboration between photographer and subject, requiring skills beyond the technical. After examining the work of some of the master photographers in the genre, we explore simplified methods of working with subjects, including using light and setting to “speak” with our images. Through studio and location demonstrations, discussions, guest speakers, and assignments, participants learn how to visualize each portrait and how to create the appropriate environment and lighting to convey mood and emotion. David explains and demonstrates his techniques for achieving meaningful portraits, covering the gamut of editorial, beauty, advertising, and journalism. Participants leave Santa Fe with a refreshed, more clearly defined personal vision and the ability to achieve tangible photographic results.
