Learning from the Master Photo Retoucher, Scott Dorman

By Classes, photography, retouching, Scott Dorman, Small Dog Studios

Today, I got a real treat. Scott Dorman of Small Dog Imageworks gave me a one-on-one look into the his world of high-end photographic retouching. I consider myself to be pretty good at Photoshop, but to see a gifted master at work was a wonder. After a couple of hours, my head was spinning with the possibilities.

Scott Dorman works with some of the brightest photographers today, and his unique composting and illustration techniques, along with his attention to detail and color make him more than just a retoucher. He becomes the photgrapher’s secret weapon to fix flaws and take the mundane to the fantastic.

People 2 Class at ShowCase School of Photography

By Classes, David Knox, photography

I am never one to rest on my laurels (as my old Latin teacher would say). So, for the next six weeks, I and my wife, Jenny, will be taking another portrait class from the Showcase School of Photography. One of our favorite teachers, David Knox, will be putting us through our paces and stuffing our brains with photographic knowledge. I’ll post assignments as the weeks tick off. You can learn more about the Showcase School and David at www.TheShowcaseSchool.com

Portrait Class Taught in Masqueman Studio

By Classes, photography, Studio, teaching

This weekend I gave my first ever portraiture class in my studio, a.k.a. the garage. I had 3 students show up and we covered the basics of studio lighting from hot lights to beauty lighting to corporate portrait set-ups. This portrait is of Teri, a talented architecture photographer who is branching out. It is because of her interest that the informal class became a reality. I enjoyed the experience very much.
