MENTORING SESSIONS

So you want to be a photographer?

I offer one on one training in just about everything I know.

  • Basic Camera operation

  • Taking better photos

  • Lighting

  • Photoshop

  • Workflow

I charge $850 for a full day, which is about 6 hours. We can get a model and go have some fun and really get into what you want to learn.

I will travel at my full day price of $850 + a way to get to you and a place to crash. I don’t mind going Southwest and your couch is fine. I’m a musician remember.

The goal of the session is to answer specific questions or provide answers to specific challenges that each photographer is facing. Photographers are also encouraged to bring in images (either on a disc or on a laptop) that might provide insight into their needs. I will critique your work in a positive way. Having this information will also allow me to personalize the tutoring session to make the most of the time available.

Possible topics to cover include aspects of flash and digital photography, such as:

  • Camera and flash essentials

  • Exposure metering

  • Basic lighting - Advanced lighting

  • Lighting formals (for wedding photographers)

  • Posing groups in a fashion way

  • Outdoor lighting including fill flash and high speed sync

  • Making flash look like natural light

TESTIMONIAL

Chuckie literally changed our world in our studio about 12 years ago with his lighting EXPLANATIONS! We spent a day with him and learned soooo much! He also is totally genuine, real & FUN!! The way he teaches is so real & raw that anyone can learn from him! My hubby has always been the brains behind the doors of our camera room and created all the camera & lighting magic. And, I've always been the 'business side' of our studio .... marketing, consultants sales, etc.... I have a $6500 sales average, bla...bla...bla... but lighting always baffled my brain! We had no idea we NEEDED Chuckie until we met him! He literally blew my hubbys mind with new ways to SEE the light in our portraits, he taught us about ART and how to be creative with the light, as well as added onto the basics that my hubby had used for over 10 years in our studio! We came home & immediately changed our light & eye for the ART of the portrait and our business exploded into a totally different way! We will be forever grateful for Chuckie & his crazy antics & fun moments we shared while LEARNING ♡♡♡ If you want to exploded your creativity, take a class with him

"Chuck,
I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much I enjoyed your One on Uno session the other day. I really appreciate how much you were willing to work specifically on what I wanted instead of a sticking to a set “lesson plan” for the day.  The session shooting with the models was great but my favorite part was the time and attention you gave me while we were just hanging out talking. Though it may not have seemed like it at the time I learned so much from that one day and because of your help I believe that my photography will be much more artistically solid.  I’ve been to several workshops and seminars and I’ve never had anyone take the time to give me such a detailed critique of my past work.  You were able to find patterns in my work that I had no idea even existed.  I’ve already reccomended you to several of my photographer friends and that’s just not something I usually do. Thanks again Chuck."
