We were thrilled to have Zach and Jody Gray use our Lighting Warehouse for a Photography wokshop they did on lighting. We were able to light a cake and they used our space for the whole day. Even the railroad tracks and industrial park vibe came in handy...

If you have an event that might need lighting/space/AV, etc....keep us in mind, it was a blast having these guys.

As a small business owner, I can tell you from observing these classes that these people were highly engaged and getting their money's worth!

Awesome positive energy around this place lately....

Day Three:

On Monday, we hosted our brand new IN-CAMERA: Light 2 photography workshop! This workshop was geared toward advanced off-camera lighting and shooting receptions and low light imagery. We had a blast with this packed house of 16 shooters and everything went off without a hitch. We were blessed to have the help of all those mentioned in the beginning of this post and could not have made it happen otherwise.

We had an entire reception style set-up with cakes to shoot, centerpieces, up-lighting and a bride and groom! It was really cool to finally be able to demo this side of our shooting and show others exactly how we do it!

We also demonstrated how to shoot killer portraits indoors with or without flash photography. This shot was taken with Westcott’s SpiderLite constant light with model Jason. Love it!

Then we headed outside to get crunk! It was time for some multiple strobe technique and some serious lighting control to create show-stopping images right in the camera.

Our awesome dude model Jason worked it out like no one’s business!

Resulting Image: Zero dodging, zero burning, no PhotoShop and about 4 seconds of editing time in Adobe Lightroom 2 to turn the image back into a JPG for print.
