Have you ever struggled to take great portraits of your clients
because you don't have decent light to shoot them in and are not
comfortable with off camera lighting?
I will break down these 25 easy to use lighting setups that you can adapt
and call your own. This DVD isn't about fancy hard to
understand ETTL techniques, I'll show you my easy to use "shoestring
TTL" techniques and how you can create your own "no excuses bag".
The Jason Groupp
Sophisticated but instantly accessible, Jason Groupp's wedding photography celebrates the individuality of every couple he works with. Having honed his style on the streets of Manhattan, Jason instinctively creates a sense of place in every client's photograph. Whether it's a free-spirited portrait of a newly engaged couple astride a motorcycle or a rare quiet moment shared by a bride and groom against the splashy backdrop of a Las Vegas cityscape, Jason captures the relationship between a couple and their surroundings. You notice the setting, but you remember the couple.
Jason's striking visual style and ability to personalize New York City—to convey a sense of intimacy and connection between a couple and a familiar landmark—have earned him clients from around the globe.
A photographer since the age of 15, Jason attended the Fashion Institute of Technology's intensive photography program while receiving hands-on experience shooting weddings for Rockland County's Bass Photography. After graduation Jason expanded his portfolio to include commercial and editorial work. Soon his expertise for clients like J. Crew, Conair/Cuisinart and Men's Health began to inform his wedding photography, which led to a distinctly intimate editorial style that has earned Jason a coveted spot as one of The Knot's 2007 "Best of Weddings" Pick.
FAQ
What is shoestring TTL?
Shoestring TTL is an approach I’ve come up with for off camera lighting. I've stripped down all the stuff, and come up with specific lighting examples you can remember, practice, and learn to do quickly on the fly.
Will your lighting only work in horrible hotels and swamps of NJ?
:) We challenged ourselves with some interesting locations, but I promise this will work anywhere. :)
Do I need to use the same gear you use in the video?
NO - the lighting I'm going to demonstrate can be done with ANY lighting gear! That's one of the main purposes of this DVD - lighting YOU can do with gear you may already have!
I have a basic understanding of off camera lighting, but still have a lot to learn, will this be too advanced?
There are plenty of DVD's out there that go over the basics of lighting, and how to begin. This DVD is meant to take your lighting to next level, with easy to use setups you can remember on the fly.
