On August 22nd in Atlanta, GA, PWP presented a workshop by Neil van Niekerk to teach exposure and on-camera-flash techniques. I’ve heard Neil’s presentation several times now as he’s done workshops and seminars for us before - and every time I learn something new!

A huge thanks to Zack Arias who allowed us to use his downtown Atlanta studio for the event!

Here are a few images from the day:

Starting with theory and presentation:

Each participant was given the chance get some hands-on experience and review:

Thanks to all the participants who made our Austin, TX seminar with Neil van Niekerk and Walter van Dusen a success!  One participant emailed us and said:

I wanted to thank you all for an awesome seminar, it exceeded my expectations 100 fold and I really enjoyed it. The extra time you took to answer my questions and cover the topics is really appreciated. Anytime you come guys come to Austin let me know, I’d love to provide hospitality and return the value. Cutting out of work for the day was so worth it, the day was an incredible value and mentoring. [Eric Glover]

We really enjoyed our time in Austin and are looking forward to coming back with other events!

Thanks so very much to everyone who came to the Minneapolis Seminar and GTG last week. One of our attendees is already puting the information to use and emailed Neil to say:

I attended your workshop in MN and shot a mostly outdoor wedding this weekend (May 19) where the sun was strong, then cloudy. I applied your flash techniques and have to say that without taking your workshop I would NOT repeat NOT have obtained the results that I achieved…..the flash blended seamlessly, and had a 95% success ratio of keepers. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Looking forward to your Virginia workshop.

I hope everyone got as much from the seminar! We had a great time being in Minneapolis and we’ll see you on our next visit to the Twin Cities!
