The Professional. Photographers of Nebraska Fall Conference will be held in North Downtown Omaha at the Hot Shops Art Center. This area of North Downtown is a mecca for creatives, and includes both the Millwork Commons District and the New Makerhood District.
Our first speaker, Tony Corbell, will demonstrate how to create a stunning portrait with a single strobe, how to use multiple strobes to create dramatic dynamic portraiture, optimal use of modifiers and reflectors, and many other techniques for obtaining exceptional portraits under a wide range of conditions.
On Saturday morning, the class will break up into small groups led by team leaders and practice the techniques from Friday in various downtown locations, including the newly renovated Gene Leahy Mall and the picturesque Bob Kerry Pedestrian Bridge. You will also have the opportunity to photograph some of the artists at work in the Hot Shops Art center.
We have some really fun activities planned for both Friday and Saturday night.
On Sunday, Aubrey Lauren will provide an information packed program on how she stays fresh and relevant to the current generation of high school seniors and parents. She will also demonstrate her approach to shooting a senior fashion session.
This will be a fun and education packed weekend that you won’t want to miss!
