I\u2019m offering you an opportunity to learn at your own pace, one on one, with the instructor. You choose the material we\u2019ll go over. I provide the studio, the equipment, heck I might even buy lunch! Here\u2019s the deal: A day in the studio with me. One on one. Pick a day. Pick the material. You set the pace. While we could discuss anything I think we should stick to photography, since that\u2019s the subject I usually teach. This is a fabulous deal, and it will only last a short time. Just $425 for the studio, the equipment and me! Keep in mind the studio generally rents for $200 a day, so the studio, the equipment and me is a fabulous deal.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2710\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/set-up-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2710\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2710\" src=\"https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/set-up-4-300x290.jpg\" alt=\"A set-up for an article about portraiture with one light: www.siskinphoto.com\/magazine\/zpdf\/Portrait.pdf\" width=\"300\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/set-up-4-300x290.jpg 300w, https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/set-up-4.jpg 743w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2710\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.siskinphoto.com\/magazine\/zpdf\/Portrait.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">A set-up for an article about portraiture with one light<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Some people have had schedule problems people with past courses, but now You Pick the Date!

Let me know what you want to learn and when you want to come by. Also if you\u2019d like to bring another person we can arrange that for a little more. Of course there\u2019s no extra charge if you want to bring a model.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2704\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/p39.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2704\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2704\" src=\"https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/p39-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"For my portrait class at BetterPhoto.com\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/p39-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/p39-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/p39.jpg 1067w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2704\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">For my portrait class at BetterPhoto.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Now I know that you wouldn\u2019t want to spend a day in the studio with just anyone. So I have to tell you about my accomplishments. Anyway I do this it\u2019s going to sound like I\u2019m blowing my own horn, but here goes: I was 15 when I had my first photography job, as an assistant to a commercial photographer in Los Angeles. His name is Steve Berman and he also taught at one of the best photography schools in LA: Art Center. I learned a lot! In the more than 40 years since then I\u2019ve worked as a photographer and taught photography. In Los Angeles I\u2019ve shot for Disney, Munchkin and General motors as repeatedly. Since I\u2019ve moved to Indianapolis I\u2019ve shot for the Hilton, BMW Construction, Mid West Studio and more. I\u2019m currently teaching three classes at BetterPhoto.com: An Introduction to Photographic Lighting, Portrait Lighting on Location and in the Studio, and Getting Started in Commercial Photography. BetterPhoto has sent me students from all over the world. I\u2019ve done two books for Amherst Media: Understanding and Controlling Strobe Lighting: A Guide for Digital Photographers and Photographing Architecture. Both are available from Amazon and also local camera stores. I\u2019ve done a couple of dozen articles for photography magazines including Shutterbug, Photo Techniques, Studio Photography and View Camera. You can learn a lot more about me by visiting my website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.siskinphoto.com\">www.siskinphoto.com<\/a>. You&#8217;ll find most of my articles on the magazine page at my site. Of course I\u2019ll answer any questions about my experience, just call 317.473.0406 or e-mail to john@siskinphoto.com<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2705\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/p47.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2705\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2705\" src=\"https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/p47-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"A link to an article about this shot:www.siskinphoto.com\/magazine\/zpdf\/hard-softlight.pdf\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/p47-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/p47-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/p47-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/p47.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2705\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.siskinphoto.com\/magazine\/zpdf\/hard-softlight.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">A link to an article about this shot<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I also want to introduce you to my studio, because it is a terrific place to experiment and learn. I have more than twenty strobes, including a strobe powered projector! There are another half dozen quartz lights, various types. In addition there are umbrellas, light panels and soft boxes, even a ring light and a beauty dish. So you\u2019ll have the opportunity for hands on learning with any equipment you might want. The shooting space is 24X45 feet with a 12 foot ceiling. Of course we could also arrange to do a location shoot, even an architectural shoot.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2706\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/F23D4159.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2706\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2706\" src=\"https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/F23D4159-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"Shot of the Irving Theater for a workshop in Indianapolis.\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/F23D4159-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/F23D4159-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/siskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/F23D4159.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2706\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shot of the Irving Theater for a workshop in Indianapolis.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">This is a custom learning opportunity.
