Now this is perhaps not to his level, but as an illustration for ‘the shot’ I’m speaking of, the shot that always strikes me is a little something like this:

I will not bore you with the technicalities of why creating that shot is difficult and impressive and really cool!  But I’d never managed of it.  Well two years ago I found out that he was doing a lighting demo/workshop in SLC, and I was bummed because I knew I would have a 5 week old baby and I could never get away for the full 24 hours I’d basically need to attend.  This last fall I found out he was coming through again and I was in, signed up immediately!

It was a full day (16 hours) of lecture and demo, and watching him shoot and hearing his stories, tips and tricks for everyday shooting.  Not to mention seeing how he manages some of his strobe techniques that terrify me, was so fun!  I had a great time!  Following are some of my shots from the day….

(This is a little behind the scenes action… That’s Mr. Arias shooting there.)

(And one more of Zack with his light meter.  Great guy!)

And now the rest of my favs of my shots of the day…
