Neil Van Niekerk | Flash Photography and Lighting Workshop

The flash photography workshops are one-day events – and is a mixture of seminar presentation and practical shooting. The New York workshops will start at a spacious studio on 36th Street in Manhattan, and in the afternoon continue in the Meat-Packing District in Manhattan.  We’ll convene back at the studio in the evening for the final part of the workshop.  Anyone who has been to the Meat-Packing District will know that it is a wonderful combination of quaint and urban – a perfect backdrop for a day out taking photographs.

Each workshop is limited to 10 people only.  This way I can make sure of individual attention with each photographer attending the workshop section of the day, and allow everyone plenty of time to work with the models and to get personal feedback.

Payment for the full-day workshop is due in full at the time of registration.
Once the 10 spaces are full, no more registrations will be accepted.

Workshop – Day 1 – (9 am until 8 pm) – $600.

Workshop: One Lens One Camera: The Haiku of Photography

Workshop: One Lens One Camera: The Haiku of Photography
San Francisco Bay Area

Apr 1/2/3/8, 2011
Registration: $395

*Register Early — Limited Seatings*
Featuring Photographers Rafael Hernandez and Oliver Klink

The One Lens One Camera is a workshop that encourages imaginative risk-taking and promotes freedom in your creative work. Educators say that, for adults, one way to nudge neurons in the right direction is to challenge the very assumptions they have worked so hard to accumulate while young. With a brain already full of well-connected pathways, adult learners should “jiggle their synapses a bit” by confronting thoughts that are contrary to their own. We have to crack the cognitive egg and scramble it up. This is a way of nudging what experts call ordinary Creativity.

Why is it called the Haiku of photography? Haiku, is a form of moras, consisting of 17 Japanese poetry, in three phrases of 5, 7, and 5 moras respectively. In this workshop, we are going to develop your photography skills to apply the simplicity of the Haiku and still make your images stand out.

The workshop is a combination of slide lectures on photography and visual design, field trips with the instructors, and critiques of your work. You’ll be exposed to various expressive techniques such as dreamscapes, multiple exposures, panning, ways to break the “photography rules of composition” to nudge your creativity, such as zoom with your feet, previsualize the concept not the image, focus on your state of mind, and understand what your camera vs. your eyes see. You are also going to learn what it takes to work on a “theme”. As past participants are saying “I didn’t know how much I had been missing with photography. Now I marvel to photograph everyday.”

The One Lens One Camera Workshop is for the novice to the experienced amateur or professional. It takes place over four sessions in the San Francisco Bay Area for the field trips and in Sunnyvale, CA at Rafael Hernandez Studio for the instruction and reviews. The four sessions enable you to learn and practice the new material, and get thoughtful critiques of your work. Not only your work will be reviewed, but you are also going to be exposed on how to critique others’ images.

At the end of the workshop, you’ll have a good understanding on how to improve your visual thinking, observe more accurately, develop your imagination, review photographs, and express a subject more effectively with photographs.
