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.

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.

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.

But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:

One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.

Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.

Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.

Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
