Today, David (associate photographer) and I attended the Beauty & Beast Tour by Hanson Fong and John Woodward. It was all day seminar (10~6) and time gone so fast! 100+ Pro & serious amateur photographers attended and techniques such as posing, lighting etc was discussed. In this picture, John was teaching some of his best headshot technique. He told us how to analyze people's face and where to light the subject. Although this is subtle, it can make a big difference. Look at how many Profoto gears John has. I am Elinchrom guy but those D1s looked really good. He also used Leaf digital medium format camera, gold standard for commercial photographers.
Hanson Fong was fun and serious photographer knows what his doing. When it comes to posing, he "directs" people. With his 30+ experience as a wedding & portrait photographer, all the posing from couples to large group was done with in couple of minutes.
I like to attend seminars. It gives me opportunity to meet people and get to use some of the great / newest products. The price of the seminar was reasonable and best part was that David & I didn't have to travel.
