I will be traveling to Colorado August 2-10 and have some extra time so thought it might be nice to throw a little photographic party in my old home town 9I lived in the Ft. Collins / Loveland area for 20+ years) So I have booked Studio 121 in Loveland for the full day August 7th and we will do an intensive Crash Course on Studio and Location Lighting. At $45 per participant this workshop is going to be the bargain of the year because all I really need to do is make enough to pay for the studio and cover part of my travel costs and I am going to be a happy guy. So here is the full deal I will set this up as a Meetup at http://www.meetup.com/vegasvisionlights which is the site I run all my workshops from so you will need to join the group but membership is free. Date: August 7, 2009 8:00AM - 4:00PM Location: Studio 121 in Loveland Cost $45 per person with a 12 person limit I will book 3 local TFP models and an MUA for this workshop. Participants will be responsible for obtaining their own model releases and ensuring that they follow through on their TFP arrangments with these models. WHile I know times are tough as always I would encourage you to tip models and MUA's who you feel provided you with excellent service. I will be traveling with enough studio lighting, strobes, soft boxes, pocket wizards etc. that in conjunction with the gear that is alreay in the studio we will be able to run 3 sets at any one time. I will provide reflectors for use outdoors but suggest you also bring your speed lights for fill techniques. We will cover the following lighting techniques In Studio 1. High Key In Camera Isolation 2. Mid Key - The Clamshell 3. Low Key - The Beauty Dish and single light artistic beauty We will work with soft boxes, reflectors, grids and beauty dishes. We will discuss various forms of light modification and the hows and whys of using each technique. This will be a hands on workshop you will spend far more time doing then you will sitting in a chair listening. I will convey lecture material but in a loose learn by doing atmosphere rather then a stiff classroom setting. Outdoors we will work on the following. 1. Over powering the sun - learning how to balance strobe lighting with natural ambient light to obtain clean crisp images with good color and contrast from foreground to background while using the strobe to also separate the model from the background creating depth and dimension. 2. Shooting at mid day - yea it is a challenge but it can be done and we will show you how to make the best of horrible conditions. 3. Reflectors and board to board lighting meaning I will teach you to use multiple reflectors to move and soften light even in situations where you would not believe there was enough light to shoot. All in all participants in this workshop will receive the ultimate value for their dollar. Hope to see you there Bobby Deal Vegas Vision Studios

Microstock Seminar - Phoenix AZ. Oct. 4-5, 2009 Kerry Allen and his great online photography community Photography Schoolhouse have invited me to join them in Phoenix to teach a 2 day Microstock Workshop. As many of you know it was due to my success in the Microstock Markets that I was able to fund and build Vegas Vision Studios. While competition has increased and markets continue to change and adapt everyday it is still possible to add a strong supplemental income by shooting specifically for microstock. If you are not familiar with The Photography Schoolhouse I recommend that you pay the site a visit. Membership is free and once you join you will find yourself part of a dynamic and active community of photographers of all skill levels from all over the country networking and sharing tips, techniques and critiques in all facets of this business we call photography. In addition to a very active online forum the site offers free photoshop actions, templates and more as well as offering FREE LIVE WEBINARS on different subjects each week. Here is what Kerry Allen of PSH has to say about this workshop: "I have to admit, I was a skeptic at first. But Bobby has shown me how photographers all over are making money with Stock and Microstock Photography." Join us in Phoenix Oct. 4-5 as Vegas Vision Studio's Bobby Deal teams up with The Photography Schoolhouse to present a 2 day workshop introducing you to what may well be the most explosive marketplaces photography has ever seen. So bring your cameras and lots of flash cards, PSH will provide a full card of models (male and female) as well as studio space and lighting to equip 3 stages for two full days of interactive study and shooting. Each participant will be given a full commercial model release from every model allowing you to start your microstock portfolio with the images you capture at this event. This workshop is an absolute fast track to the skill set you need to begin exploiting this rapidly expanding market. Bobby Deal was an early adopter of Microstock and has been through all the growing pains this industry has gone through and can offer you experienced based tactics to help ensure that you can avoid the costly mistakes he made early on in his career when shooting for microstock. He will cover not only the shooting and lighting instruction, but how to deal with model releases, property releases, logos, styles, key wording, and marketing. This is an intensive hands on information packed workshop with a balanced mix of classroom information and shooting. This workshop will provide you with all the tools you need to put you on the road to success in microstock and give you the skill set you need to start making money with your camera. Regularly priced at $499 we are offering an Early Bird registration special for only $449. (Book now, Early Bird ends Aug. 1/09) Or you may Reserve your space now with a deposit of only $250.

Hi All, as you may remember last month I asked for your help by asking you to PLEASE VOTE FOR STACEY In THE 944 Magazine Cover Model Contest http://www.944.com/covers/vote/?ID=8471Well the bad news is that even with all your help in the end she lost last month by just a couple of votes. The good news is this is a new month and a new contest and you can VOTE AGAIN She is once again firmly in the lead and with your help should be able to withstand any last minute push from the competition this month. If you did not vote last month you will have to register to vote but it only requires an email address and 944 is not spamming those who register. If you don't get a confirmation email after registering just log in on a fresh browser page and then go to the voting link. The only vote that counts is the little THUMBS UP ICON directly above the comment box so be sure you click on that. Once you have voted feel free to also leave a comment or to rate the cover (it is my photo) Your help here is greatly appreciated and I am more then happy to do all I can to help any of you out in any contests you may be competing in now of in the future to return the favor of your support. Thanks, Bobby

Seems someone has a screw loose around here and can't tell a PIMPING THREAD from a TRUE PROMOTION so I thought I would offer to tighten up that loose screw and help define PIMPING THREAD all at the same time. So here you go FotoKmyst just for you I give you Lyndsay (a monthly winner of the 944 Magazine] Cover Contest has gathered her tool kit and is ready to perform a little preventative maintenance for you and help tighten those loose screws and maybe help pitch a tent or two along the way Oh and BTW this model is Great to work with. She has a ton of experience and is capable of working for extended shooting sessions with minimal direction. An ability that only comes with experience and to top it off if you can believe it she IS NOT DEAF

She has entered one of my photographs in the current 944 Cover Model Search so if you could drop her a vote it would be appreciated all around.  Click here for the 944 Cover Contest!
