One Week of Studio Lighting in Kona, Hawaii

YWAM School of Photography 1
Students work from 2006
In one week students go from not knowing how to turn on the strobes to doing some incredible work. My job is the take the fear out of trying new things and teaching them some basics from which they can build upon.

Take a look at each of these shows showing you some of the student's work through the years. I think you will be impressed as I was with their first time shooting with studio strobes.





This is the students work from 2006

Mixing the strobes with available light




This is the students work from 2007
We shoot and let everyone see each others work on monitors, this way we are learning not just by doing but observing as well.
The school has a variety of lights for the students to practice with in the class.  Here we have the JTL battery pack system letting you shoot outside with studio lights and radio remotes.
Students learn they can shoot at dusk and night with the strobes. Here the students mixed strobes with available light and added a flashlight to write the word "Viking" beside the subject.  This was his nickname.







These are examples of my students in 2009 and what they did in one week.


Here is the students work from 2010
