As many of you know, this past year has been focused heavily on education. With photography workshops taking place all over the United States, and an upcoming tutorial series with a comprehensive breakdown of my entire workflow. However, I’m not done yet, and am excited to announce my photography workshops tour.
In the next 3 months, I’ll be working with various brands and companies to give the best education all over the United States. This first piece of it is a trial run, traveling to Albuquerque, NM, Kalamazoo, MI and Washington, D.C. with Phase One at my side the whole way through.
What Are These Photography Workshops About?
[separator]
These photography workshops are a comprehensive 8 hour day that will teach you how to drastically improve your photography and lighting on location. With the use of off camera lighting and ND Filters, I will personally teach you how to create beautiful light on both your subjects and your scenes. Cinematic environmental portraits that will help build your portfolio, and book you more jobs within the industry. Not only is this a photography lecture teaching all these techniques, but it’s a hands on class as well. The entire class will be broken into two parts, one in lecture format, allowing you to learn and discuss the techniques taught. The second portion is hands on. With lighting equipment provided by Zach Sutton, you’re able to learn how to properly light subjects (using a model hired for the session) in any environment, resulting in better photos, more jobs, and a better portfolio book. This lecture also has a Q&A section, allowing you to ask questions beyond lighting – from business practices to workflow processes. These photography workshops are incredibly extensive, and limited to 10 students for $250.

That’s right, I have PhaseOne on board for this workshop. Not only will a tech be there to show you all of the working parts of CaptureOne and the PhaseOne systems, but we’ll have PhaseOne cameras there as well, allowing you to test drive the Ferrari of camera gear for the day. The daily rental cost of a 645df+ w/ IQ250 is over $450. That alone pays for the workshop nearly two times over. This camera system will be for use of attendees of this workshop, allowing you to get the best possible image quality while on location following the lecture portion of the class.

Reviews From Previous Photography Workshop Attendees[separator]

[color-swatch icon=”badge” title=”Shankar Narayanan” color=”orange”]I had the great opportunity to attend the “Outdoor Lighting” workshop on 7/13/14, hosted by Zach. The entire day was jam packed with information and knowledge transfer. The key to the success was Zach’s personality. Despite being a highly published artiste, Zach is down to earth & approachable and with no pretenses. That made it easy for us to ask questions and get straight answers. The photography workshop also featured industry experts from PHLEARN & Phase One and we got to use some cool equipment. Once we got started on the hands on part of the class where we mixed strobes with harsh afternoon sunlight, Zach showed us how it is done, and worked with us all individually till we “got it”. We then went on and worked with the talented models all afternoon. The techniques I learned in this class will help take my outdoor photography to the next level. I have already ordered a beauty dish & a power pack to go with my AB800. Can’t wait to try my skills. Don’t miss this opportunity if this class comes to your town![/color-swatch][/column]

[color-swatch icon=”badge” title=”Aaron Geller” color=”orange”]I had the pleasure of meeting Zach last fall in NYC (despite living in the same small town for several years) and found him to be enthusiastic and making new paths for himself in the industry. This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend his workshop here in West Michigan. So here are my thoughts: Zach puts a lot of effort into the photography workshops and it comes through. The workshop factors in your needs and wants, and he is open to input. The price was affordable and in no way was Zach price gouging anyone – I fear to say it, but I doubt any grand profit was made. And speaking of price, we all received our money’s worth from this workshop. It was my first workshop for photography and up until that point, I had never considered the importance of neutral density filters in my work. Certainly, the workshop was a great opportunity to build network connections and meet people passionate about photography. I also enjoyed trying out new equipment and seeing how it could be applied toward my own work. In short, if you have a chance to take a workshop with Zach – you will get more than your money’s worth.[/color-swatch]

[color-swatch icon=”badge” title=”Destinie Jaramillo” color=”orange”]I am so glad I took Zach’s lighting workshop! I have always been a natural light photographer and didn’t really see the use for artificial lighting outdoors but OMG was I wrong! Learning how to properly use light and light modifiers coupled with natural light was a total game changer for me! Thanks Zach![/color-swatch]

[color-swatch icon=”badge” title=”Beth Waldron Yuhas” color=”orange”]The class portion of the workshop was full of information, examples, and extras like tutorials for later use. The outdoor hands-on part was really fun, and he let us use his own gear, which is awesome. I learned a lot and can’t wait to use it.[/color-swatch]

[color-swatch icon=”badge” title=”Amy Luna” color=”orange”]Zach’s Outdoor Lighting Workshop is a serious game changer, the content and experience of the workshop is amazing and the hands on experience you gain from the work shop is amazing. Zach is so willing to help in anyway that he can and had equipment readily available for the entire class to experiment with! I loved the workshop and feel that my lighting knowledge is mounds and leaps better than when I initially walked into the class :-). If you’re considering taking in course from Zach, I highly recommend it![/color-swatch]

[color-swatch icon=”badge” title=”Jasmine Peralta” color=”orange”]I wasn’t able to make the first Outdoor Lighting Workshop and I was broken hearted, but I was I was ecstatic when I found out Zach was having another workshop in Albuquerque! I had zero knowledge of artificial lighting beforehand and I knew that if I wanted to take a step further into the photography business, I needed to learn from the best! Zach’s teaching style is awesome. He is so helpful and patient. The in-class workshop and being on location were both incredibly insightful. Taking this photography workshop opened my eyes to the amazing possibilities to capture the perfect photo using outdoor lighting. I can’t wait to use the information I gained from this photography workshop in my future work. Thank you so much, Zach![/color-swatch]
