Photography and Lighting Courses for 2010 by ric woods

Beginners course – ‘your new digital SLR camera’

Our beginner’s course was a tremendous success. Small classes greatly benefited student to teacher time
The two session course covered lots of information, all the participants left shooting on manual instead of “auto.”
A few participants comments:
Anne said ‘in the second week I had the confidence to get off auto and not be scared of shooting manually’

Robyn liked ric’s ‘professional tips and learning from “the real stuff”, ric showed behind the scenes, and how he solved problems on his recent commercial shoots’

Amanda said she was ‘given the confidence to try new things and experiment’

Continued interest in the Beginners Course shows there is a need for a second intake.

Our “Perfect Black and White” seminar in May 2010 is suited to both beginner and advanced photographers. There are still spaces available in this 2.5 hour workshop requiring basic computer image editing skills– enquiries to maree@ricwoods.

LITTLE LIGHTS -BIG RESULTS...a seminar on the off camera flash

Maree and myself ran the first of hopefully many photography seminars last night. Ebony was a fantastic subject and all enjoyed the course.

This session was based on using off camera flash to create several different end products.We showed how to make a pure white ( knock out ) background to provide graphic artists with clean images....if you provide them with clean images like this they will love you forever and it DOES general repeat commissions.

Behind the scenes look at the set we built for this shoot.

Here is the cropped image we were looking for



Next we changed the lights again to create a street grunge look


Many of the students captured Ebony is strong images

Here is a quick video grab of the students in the studio setting

The next seminar is in 2 weeks, there are a few spaces left. Those interested can contact Maree by email maree@ricwoods.com or call the studio on 02 4962 1066.

Its a great night
