David Tejada Workshop
I spoke to David Tejada today and registered for his
“Small Strobes Big Results”
lighting workshop over in Denver, CO on
4-25-09. I have listened to several podcast interviews in the past
year that have featured David and his corporate photography business.
I’m a Strobist at heart and am really
pumped about the opportunity to soak up knowledge
about using off-camera strobes from an industry
guru. David keeps the groups small. I’ll be 1 of
only 10 attendees at this workshop, sweet! And a
road trip to Colorado won’t be bad either!
This will definitely up my game as a photographer
here in Omaha. The information gained and skills
refined at this workshop will be a serious addition
to my lighting arsenal for future wedding
photography, senior portraits, children, family
portraits, product photography, sports, etc.

hovering in a helicopter over a drill rig in the

He is also an effective communicator, comfortable
with all levels of employees from management to

quickly to changing conditions and technical
challenges, remaining focused on the assignment goals

Learn how to get BIG RESULTS from small
strobes!
Join me, corporate annual report photographer David
Tejada, for this one day lighting workshop. With 25
years of location lighting experience under my belt,
I’ll show you that you don’t need to load yourself
down with lots of expensive gear to achieve big
results.
You'll learn how to:
• control and modify the quality of light produced
from a typical shoe mounted flash; • properly use
umbrellas, soft boxes, snoots, grids, silks and
bounce techniques; • use a single strobe combined
with existing light as well as more complicated
multiple light set-ups; • PLUS bonus pro photo
business information.
Use Your Flash OFF Camera
We’ll spend a lot of time learning how light works
and how to get consistent results with your flash
photography. You’ll leave this workshop knowing how
to use your flash off camera and how to consistently
achieve the results you want. You’ll be able to
confidently produce a portrait in any environment
that you encounter on location.
Shoot and Learn
Participants will have the opportunity to shoot each
of the lighting demos with their own cameras as well
as the lighting set-ups during the workshop. Lighting
demos are a wonderful way to build a catalog of
lighting effects that you can draw on for future
reference.
Bonus: Important Business
Information
In addition to the lighting aspect of this workshop,
I’ll share my experience in developing a successful
corporate photography business as well as how I
handle my current workflow.
