PhotoCon Hawaiʻi presents:
Beyond the Camera with Stephen Burns

EVENT ENDED

Description

Have you ever wondered if there’s more that you can do with your images? Would you like to experience a workflow that exercises the artistic side of your mind that goes beyond the still image?

Join us for an exploration into creating beyond what the camera gives, and into a world of your own making. This workshop series will push your creative juices to building exciting visions that require the use of multiple images and techniques.

This is a 4-week workshop designed to get you, the photographer, to think and create beyond the still photograph. The goal is to share that one’s vision is not limited to a single image but can be derived from multiple compositions from multiple imagery.

In each 2-hour session, attendees will watch instructor Stephen Burns create a new vision while they follow along using their own imagery, in this interactive and dynamic online series. There will be plenty of time for Q&A.

Fee is $120.00 (+ eventbrite) includes personal interaction with the instructor, and a private link to view each recorded session as necessary. Single sessions are not available.

Join us for a 4-week virtual Adobe Photoshop workshop series with Stephen Burns.

Jon Lorentz: Canon: Canon: Models & Natural Light, Photo Walk

It’s easy to get caught up in the plethora of lighting options available to a photographer this day and age, but one source remains true—the sun. Imagine if you will, you’re en route to an amazing location and your batteries die, your reflector tears, or, you forgot that ONE cord you needed for off-camera flash—things happen. So let’s take a step back and look at how to plan for the worst and achieve the best.

Bring your camera and join Canon’s Jon Lorentz and learn tips and tricks for shooting with the sun and working with your subject. Featuring stunning locations and models from the Bliss Model Agency, this is one event you won’t want to miss!
