Lighting Movement, Two Ways

I am excited to announce that I'll be teaching a super fun workshop during the Branch Out Conference in Canmore this September!

This conference was founded by Kelly VanderBeek and I'll be co-hosting with her this year. Kelly is a retired Olympian and professional sports & portrait photographer. She created this conference, which is geared mainly at women (although all are welcome!) to enable photographers to branch out into shooting sport & live action with skill, confidence, and community. SONY is sponsoring the event, so there will be a gear demo. There will be loads of hands-on-cameras style learning - you'll get to actually photograph athletes and go home with new work in your portfolio. The atmosphere will be intimate (approximately 12-16 students) and supportive, and I heard there may be some prizes to be won as well ;)

I am so excited to be sharing my expertise in working with dancers and studio lighting in order to capture movement in beautiful, awe-inspiring ways. Photography and dance have always had a special relationship - when the two come together it can be magic, especially when you have a few key lighting techniques up your sleeve :) 

My workshop during the conference is entitled "Lighting Movement Two Ways".

We'll be working with dancers in the studio, and you'll get to learn 2 amazing lighting setups. The first being a timeless, clean look which freezes motion and captures the sculptural forms dance artists can create with their bodies. The second setup will be a bit more wild, using mixed lighting (and some of my secrets!) to create magical, playful, super kinetic images that will be sure to knock socks off.
