We want to extend a special thanks to all of the students that came for the portfolio review. I know that taking two hours out of your busy schedule to sit through another class can seem like a chore, especially if you are driving to and from SLC from any of the other schools we had students travel from. Both of us hope that the presentation was helpful, and you were able to get enough out of it to confidently shoot your portfolio. Remember, lighting a photo is just another form of design. You are observing and reacting to the changes you make in order to represent your subject, you constant is your set-up, and your variables are your lights and how you choose to modify them.

If you lost or didn’t receive a handout at the workshop, you can download the file by clicking here.

Even if you still have your handout, the .pdf we are providing has an extra page of terminology that should be helpful.

Below are two links that often have wonderful examples of photography for both flat print work and packaging:

Once again, thanks a bunch for making the workshop successful!
