First Weekend Workshop!!!

It's true, a dear photog friend (Valerie Mouery) and I are planning a weekend workshop! We are leaning towards Peoria, AZ, but are also leaving St. Augustine, FL open, or any other city where we find the most interest! It will also be in either mid. Oct. 2011, or early Mar. 2012, OR maybe both. If you are interested in hosting a workshop, email for details. As we finalize our workbooks and details we will share more info. about the big weekend!

For those of you wanting to better your photography skills, including camera use, Photoshop, posing, workflow etc., this is the perfect opportunity! We already have several well known companies etc. offering great give aways to those attending, and the price is one that can't be beat! We are wanting to get the word out, so our cost to you is very affordable, only $495 for the following:

Fri. evening will be the meet and greet

Sat. we kick off the day after breakfast. You will each be given a personally designed workbook with our class outline, important notes, and space for your own notes. You will be learning camera skills (assuming you already know the camera basics), shooting in all modes, using your ISO, flash, lens use, metering, exposure etc. Lunch will be included! Early afternoon we will be off to shoot for the rest of the afternoon/early evening. We will be teaching you to pose and shoot models (senior girls and guys, as well as small children), using the skills taught earlier that day as well as the use of natural light, flash (on and off camera), and reflectors.
That evening we will have dinner and find some time to answer any questions you might have, as well as peek at some of our work! It will be a LONG day! BUT loads of fun!

Sun. morning after breakfast we will meet again to teach the ins and outs of Photoshop (CS2 and higher). You will learn the most common tools used, layers, masking, simple tips and tricks to make your work flow smoother, and pictures gorgeous, how to create your own actions, and use others. We will spend the morning editing some of the photos from the Sat. afternoon shoot. Our class should end by noon.

What else can you expect?

Give aways, lots of good ones like:
Gifts from...
Kevin Kubota
onOne (a $500 Suite)
Photo Vision
WHCC
Mpix
Debi's Creations
and more...

Plus, for everyone who attends you will receive a CD loaded with Tonya and Valerie's actions and digital backgrounds! You will also be given an info. page with links and ideas to make your business better than ever!

Currently we have several people interested in the weekend because it is at a discounted rate, if you have an interest please email me at tonyarisserphotography@q.com for updated info. and to reserve your spot, seats are limited, as we are trying to keep the class small to allow for more one on one attention!

We are also open to having a workshop just about anywhere, we would need enough people to make it work. If you are interested in hosting a workshop, email for details!

For the Love of Photography...Tonya
