Westcott Off Camera Flash

Join Westcott's Jake Collins on a photo walk adventure around Murphy Auditorium and the surrounding area.

Tethered Photography: When, How and Why

In this class, we will discuss the reasons to shoot tethered and the tools needed to do so. We will also discuss cable choices, software compatibility, and the basics of troubleshooting. Join me in learning how tethered shooting will elevate your photography!

Freezing Motion in Studio with Elinchrom

How to navigate the "Alphabet Soup" of getting the absolute sharpest possible in studio images. Blake Griffin, US Brand Manager for Elinchrom (and Photo Video EDU's Dean of Business Development), will go over real-world examples of how flash duration is used to freeze moments in time using Elinchrom Monolight strobes.

Afterwards attendees will be encouraged to use what they learned in class by visiting sponsored shooting bays with dancers in motion.
