Over the weekend I'm hoping that I'll be announcing the date for another portraiture workshop.

I'm talking with Christina this evening - she's the lady who owns the venue that we used for the last one in Balmain, and she's happy for us to use it again.

I just need to work out a date. I'm thinking a Saturday in mid June.

Gary,

I'm interested but mid-June is not good for me. 30/06 and onwards is fine.

Thanks,

André

Hi Garry, I'd be interested too depending on date.

Posted: **Fri Apr 20, 2007 8:43 am**

Hi Gary,

I am interested in this as this is something I am trying to improve at. I am actually in the process of researching lighting equipment to setup a home studio.

I feel bad though as I have not posted much over the last year (just been lurking whenever I get time) so if there are limited spaces and more active members want in I am happy to sit out.

Cheers,
W00DY

Andre,

I'm also thinking of another workshop in August .... during the AW.

Will that suit you better?

So, yes, that's TWO workshops.

AW is going to be August 3-5

Posted: **Fri Apr 20, 2007 8:50 am**

awesome the more workshops the better, what will this cost? do you have a link to your previous workshops thread gary?

Posted: **Fri Apr 20, 2007 9:29 am**

I'd be interested Gary, I can bring along my two strobist kits for everyone to test out.

Posted: **Fri Apr 20, 2007 10:09 am**

The only cost for these will be the contribution towards the room hire. I'm expecting around $150 ... and if we run with 10 perps, that'll be ... let's see ... carry the 1, divide by 7 .... add back the number you first thought of ...

Posted: **Fri Apr 20, 2007 10:29 am**

In like......

Posted: **Fri Apr 20, 2007 10:39 am**

I'm up for one of these depending on dates and spaces available

Posted: **Fri Apr 20, 2007 10:46 am**

Hi Gary, I would be interested

Posted: **Fri Apr 20, 2007 11:43 am**

Paul, that would be great.

For everyone's information, at the last one of these, a few people brought along their lighting kits and we were able to use them during the workshop.

I would intend something similar to be the case here as well.

This thread is the original discussiion thread on the first of these. My recollection is that we asked for email EsOI for that; For these workshops I'll just be using a forum thread.

Posted: **Fri Apr 20, 2007 11:48 am**

So it is adviseable to have lighting kits to make the most of the lesson I assume?

If so, fair enough... I don't have one.................................................................................................................................. yet

Much better for me, I'm happy to wait till then.

thanks,

Mid June is not good for me due to end of financial year and impending fatherhood. August would be more suitable and I can bring my lights/brollies/stands, etc as needed.

Same here, mid June to late is not really good for me.

Posted: **Fri Apr 20, 2007 4:58 pm**

Gary,

I'd love to attend this workshop as well if the date suits. I;m sure the wife hasn't booked me for anything as yet in June.

Cheers
Warwick.

If I am back from NY I'd love to attend. and if it's a weekend.

Posted: **Fri Apr 20, 2007 6:17 pm**

Posted: **Fri Apr 20, 2007 8:36 pm**

I wouldnt mind doing something also outdoors too... using one light (strobist style) etc.

Hopefully Ill have my own one-light setup by then..

Ok ...

we now have two dates for portraiture workshops.

Date 1: June 16

Date 2: August 4 (AW activities)

Let's see expressions of interest in either one, or the other, dates.

Posted: **Sat Apr 21, 2007 12:57 am**

I'm okay for the June 16th session.
If required I can lend my brollys for the August session as well.

+1 for June 16th thanks. :lol:

Posted: **Sat Apr 21, 2007 7:38 am**

June 16th is great for me, but as mentioned before if there are more active members wanting to attend that is cool.

Cheers.

And just to ensure that we're all on the same page ... we're using the same room in Balmain that we used for the last portraiture workshop, and we need to contribute towards our use of that room, so there'll be a small charge for that use. Probably around the $15 mark.

Paul, I may buy myself a similar set of lights ... but I'll keep your offer in mind; many thanx.

Posted: **Sat Apr 21, 2007 10:57 am**

I'll vote June 16, but I am sure that I will be free Aug 4 too

Posted: **Sat Apr 21, 2007 2:32 pm**

Gary,

16th June is perfect for me.
Thanks

Cheers,

Posted: **Sat Apr 21, 2007 3:13 pm**

Gary,

Can you add my name to the list for 16th June,

Thanks Rick.

16th June fine for me.

Posted: **Sat Apr 21, 2007 6:37 pm**

Got room for a newbie like me? Keen to learn, and I'm sure with the talent on this forum, I'll pick up heaps on days like this.

Either day is fine with me. Prefer 16th June, but if there's too many people, I'm fine with August as well.

I will put my name down for the August date, and will bring the brollies x 2/lights x 2/flashes - SB800 & Metz/etc with me unless directed otherwise.

Cheers

August date is just perfect for me...

June 16th is a bit of risk, I cannot 100% guarantee...

ok gary are we in need of models? i have two actor friends who may be interested (males) infact they just made a movie and are getting some clothing made up and asked me to take shots of them, i thought why not kill two birds, if we need some models and in return they get some of the shots.

whats everyone think? they wanted to use the shots to produce posters, if people dont want to do that thats cool i can just provide mine, attached is also a shot of the young lady who may be interested.

For those coming to the August workshop, there will also be a Ferry Hop on the same day, as a part of our AW activities, and they will be joining us for lunch/light refreshments in the early afternoon before they continue their trek.

Bill, Rod, Andre, Craig, David: all done.

Teo,

The June workshop has been fully subscribed for quite some time, so I've added you to the August workshop and waitlisted you for June. If a vacancy in the June workshop comes up, then you're in. Please confirm that August works for you in the mean time.

For those still considering these workshops, we restrict participants to just 10 to make it easier to work with the models and equipment, and by my maths, we have just two vacancies left for August.

Michael,

Please contact me offline regarding your friends. Their needs - and importantly, their interaction with the togs - will be different from what we are seeking in these specific workshops.

I'm happy to try to arrange a smaller, more targeted workshop for them, providing them with TFP, but focussed upon their needs and projections as well as how the togs can interact in that very different situation.

Posted: **Sat May 19, 2007 4:27 pm**

ooh can I please be in on the Aug one? I missed out on the last one and would love to come!
