Get It Off! Recap

Well we did it. After a few months of work and some long nights spent creating some totally dorky self-portraits (for demo purposes of course), yesterday the Fed and I spent were joined by 12 amazing photographers for the first Get It Off! workshop.

Those of you who know me know that when I walk into a room, the first thing I'm usually thinking is, "Where would I put the lights?" Well Get It Off! evolved from there. Between my obsession and Fed's overall SB-junkie-ism we were able to cover a lot of information in one day.

First off, I'd be remiss not to thank those who made it possible, Michael Bossin, owner of the Gallery in the Square in Sharon center. In addition to hosting the workshop, Michael has been a tireless supporter of the local arts scene and his gallery was the first to display my prints, way back in 2006. I also have to thank Paul at LensProToGo, who sponsored the workshop and donoated a free lens rental to one lucky Get Offer (Meg Belanger - Meg you have to let us know what fun toy you decide on for your rental!)

At the end of the day though, it comes down to the participants. For 8-hours they listened to James and I ramble about off camera light, motivated light, Pocketwizards and color temperature. Toward the end of the day, we broke up into smaller groups and spent some time trying out some new tricks and techniques.

Here's a few snaps from the day. Special thanks to Melissa Coe for sharing some of her shots of us in action:

I might have brought a few toys...

James has the light, and a bit of E.T. hand!
