I wanted to say thank you again for your light workshop I attended during this summer. I learned so much and I can’t stress out enough how much further I came with my photography. I appreciated all your efforts Deb and Detra put in this amazing class and can highly recommend it to anyone who is intrested in creative use of light!

Hi Detra and Deb! I popped in to say hello and to tell everyone who is interested in or toying with the idea of taking the shop…just do it. Don’t even question it. I have to say that “Finding the Light” really changed everything about the way I see light…angles, catchlights, reflections, silhouette’s, flare…you CAN learn it! Detra is so seasoned in light…there isn’t a better person to recommend when it comes to learning it. Lighting can be super scary…but we all have to learn it and you most definitely will walk away with an immense amount of confidence! Thanks again Detra and Deb for showing me that I, too, can find the light All my best…hope you guys are well!!

Hi, So, I believe this is an online course? Some of the details aren’t quite clear to me? Can you please contact me and let me know if this is an online course and if there are openings? Thanks

November 12, 2008 at 3:44 pm

devon

Hi I am very interested in this course as well, I have been struggling with finding light in my images, and I feel like its one of the biggest things that is holding me back from being the kind of photographer that I need to be..How many courses do you offer through out the year? I dont want to miss this one by thinking another will be coming if it isnt.?? Also, what kind of equipment is needed for your course. I saw something about a reflector? Any clarification and /or information would be greatly appreciated, this is the sort of thing I have been searching for.

Thank you!

Any spots left for the January workshop?

January 17, 2009 at 3:24 am

Vickie Pewitt

Just in case you didn’t get my email earlier…

Can you give me a bit more description of how the workshop flows? Does this run as an online group forum type thing? Will there be certain times of the day/week that you’re are available for online chatting or will q’s be answered via email correspondence? How or where will the lessons/instructions be presented?

Sorry for all the questions…this would be my first time taking part in an online-style workshop so I have no idea how it works.

Thank You!

What type of equipment and and technical knowledge is needed? I would consider myself an advanced amatuer. The weather is pretty cold here should I wait for the spring worshop?

I am very interested in your workshop! I’ve been dying to learn more about photograpy. I won’t be able to sign up for the January class; do you know when the dates for the spring class will be? I’m preggers with my first baby and I’m hoping to do the workshop before he arrives in late May! :0) Hoping to take some great newborn shots of him!
Oh, one other question: How much experience do I need to be able to follow your workshop?
Thanks so much! Beautiful pictures!

I just came across your site this morning and your workshop looks great! Can you tell me a little more about time involved…do you teach one lesson per week? How long do we have to do the homework? Is there a set chat time?

Eagerly awaiting early registration for your January 2010 workshop. I won a discount for the September one but just couldn’t work it all in during this busy portrait season. Can’t wait to hear more about the January session.
