Cost: Just $49 until Oct 8th then $69 thereafter. Our regularly scheduled business meeting will begin at 6:30pm for members and guests followed by the evening portion of Glen’s presentation. 
Get ready to spend a day learning the ins and outs of contemporary posing, lighting, post-production and sales.

On the photography side of the program, Glen will discuss concepts of lighting and posing to give your images a contemporary flare with a little edge. Starting with the basics of good posing, this program is designed to help you jazz up your images. Various corrective techniques will be implemented to improve the look of each images. We’ll explore the views of the face, masculine and feminine poses, S curves and C curves along with broad light and short light techniques. This will be a live demonstration, so bring your cameras! This is the foundation of the product you sell. The light, pose and expression in the image determine your style – Glen’s goal is to show you how he uses these three elements in his portrait work.

So now you have a great product, what do you do with it? In the afternoon, Glen will walk you through some of the basic functions for determining pricing, marketing and sales. The focus of the final part of the afternoon program will be on the psychology of pricing and price list design.

The evening session is all about post-production – taking the images photographed earlier in the day and applying post-production techniques to bring out the best in the images. If you’re looking for images that pop off the page – this is the part of the program that will give you the techniques to make it happen. Glen will show you his formula for raw conversion and how he applies the various filters, curve adjustments and Photoshop tools to create his images. He’ll even throw in some Photoshop tips and tricks to round-out the post-production part of the program.

So why not bring your camera and enjoy a day with Glen learning posing, lighting, post-production and sales.
