The ultimate Indian Wedding Photography Workshop
We are thrilled to announce the ultimate Indian wedding photography workshop this January in Bangalore, India. Applications are now open through December 15th, 2011.
This intensive three day workshop on Indian wedding photography will be a good blend of lectures, discussions, and assignments in which participants will learn to tackle the challenges of being or becoming a wedding photographer in India, for all that it means. We will discuss ways to identify your niche in the market, pricing, contracts, business approach, as well as technical challenges of shooting at a wedding. We will talk about working alongside other photographers, how to handle harsh video lights, use of natural light vs flash and more. You will also be given tips on equipment and digital concerns in different situations. You will learn to conquer your digital workflow, post production, color correction, creating lightroom presets, finalizing your images and archiving.
The weekend will include a live shoot with models, group and individual critiques, personal assignments, and one-on-one portfolio review meetings with Sephi. The emphasis is on how to compete in this highly demanding market, build your brand, stay creative and on top of the game as the Indian wedding photography market is starting to boom.
Where: Bangalore, India
Tuition: Rs 25,000
Who Should Attend
This workshop is for intermediate and advanced photographers, who use a DSLR digital camera, have a solid understanding of how it works, want to enhance their understanding of the creative side of the wedding photography business in India, and don’t mind staying up late. A sample of recent photography, a review of the type of camera, laptop, and image editing program you will be using, and a good working knowledge of your camera in manual mode is required for admission.
Equipment Requirement
Each participant is required to bring a digital camera, camera manual, a card reader and a laptop computer, PC or Mac, with DVD drive and a minimum of 1 GB of RAM (2 GB preferred). The laptop must have the current version of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.0 software installed and at least 10 GB of available hard drive space.
Class Size is Limited to 2o participants
We believe that some of the value of a good workshop is also in the close contact and personal relationship you forge with the workshop leader. Limited class size and selective enrollment ensures that topics covered may be adjusted for the needs of the group and participants receive individual attention. We support emerging photographers and will offer sponsorship to two Indian photographers who do not have the financial means to afford the workshop but show a promising talent. Please see in the application form.
This workshop is now fully booked
The workshop will be conducted by Sephi Bergerson, an award winning documentary and lifestyle photographer with more than twenty years of experience.
