San Diego Photographer

This weekend was a huge success for the Night Photography Class. Jason Kirby taught another San Diego Photography Class at Oceanside Photo & Telescope. We had 13 attendees and covered the various different scenarios associated with night and low light photography. The first 1 hour and half was a lecture from the PowerPoint below providing background information and recommendations for night and low light photography. The remainder of the class was taught out at the Oceanside pier on what turned out to be an amazing night to take photos. We were able to take some dusk shots and even some fun long exposure shots. To view the presentation from the class and to get an idea on recommended settings for various scenarios please look below.

Saturday was the last class of the month, Headshot & Portrait Photography Class. We had 8 people come out and learn the many different techniques when taking headshots and portraits outdoors. We spent the morning at Presidio Park and spent the first hour and a half covering the basics of headshot photography and what to be aware of when dealing with the sun outdoors. Then we had 2 models arrive and pose for the photographers in training to learn and have hands on activities. My way of teaching is not to stand and lecture all day, but cover the basics and allow for everyone to get real experience and feedback on the pictures they take of the models. 


Based on the evaluations I received at the end the class was a huge success and everyone had a good time, even the models were really excited to work with everyone.
