Photography Fundamentals: Day Two

What a great class today. Day two is always awesome.

As we get to know each other better, we transition from a room full of individuals to a united and creative group of friends. Ideas exchange like neurons, and the “ah-ha” light bulbs go off by the dozens.

This is what it’s all about.

After giving them their first assignment, “Vision,” the students headed out, eager to create fresh visual ideas. I can’t wait to see what they bring back.

Photography classes making headlines

Our photography class is off to a great start in 2012! Already and again, we have nearly a full house signed up for the January class. Better still, the local paper has taken notice too, and wrote this wonderful story about it.

And I was nearly blown away by feedback from students of the last class:

“Awesome class – very “out of the box” and great class participation. Luke has a real gift for explaining the art of photography and making it very personal.” – Alaina

“This class really opened my eyes … It was very enlightening.” – Clarice

“Luke is an awesome, inspiring instructor. I would love to learn more from him.”  – Ellen

We’re excited to have all the great attention and positive energy surrounding us. We’re less than three weeks into 2012, and already I can tell – it’s gonna be an amazing year!

Family Holiday Photo

Christmas 2011 out-take frame …

We shot the family holiday photos in house again. This year was my first experience shooting in high key. This is one of my favorite out-take frames. Of all of the families I photograph, mine seem to be the most challenging. Of course, it adds a few layers of complexity when I’m the lighting tech, the set director, the photographer, the dad, and the subject all in every frame. This year I bribed the boys with a promise to go to the toy store and pick a little something out if they posed well and cooperated – and, well – as you can see by the look on Hugh face, they both brought their A game. It turned out to be a great shoot. The boys did superb and earned a few just rewards – and I can’t wait to get the holiday cards sent out to friends and families!
