Jerry Venz: Subtractive Natural Light

AUGUST 19, 2014 MEETING!  :)

Jerry Venz (formerly of PPSCV currently residing in Idaho) will present at our August 19, 2014 meeting.
Normal meeting times:  6:30p.m. start time at the Media Room of the Community Church in Sebastopol.
More information to come.
Here are Jerry's program notes:

SUBTRACTIVE NATURAL LIGHT alternative to flash outside!

Do you want your portraits to look SO much better than your competitors that your clients exclaim," WOW!" when you show them their images , on your camera, during the session?

Do you want to produce portraits that are WALL ART that clients are willing to BUY AS LARGE PRINTS?

Wouldn't it be great to do this with LESS TECHNOLOGY to haul to your outdoor sessions? (Leave all the speed lights, stands, soft boxes and radio triggers home!)

Have you tried to SIMPLIFY your outdoor sessions using REFLECTORS only to get either flat lighting or clients with squinty eyes?

Do you want to be IN CONTROL of your imagery?

Do you know what lighting pattern and pose combination makes most people look great?

Are you tired of all these questions and just want ANSWERS?

That's what Jerry W. Venz, M.Photog. CPP, PPC-F, PPC-S, PPSCV-F, PPSCF-S and Kathi Venz, PPSCV-S, Master Poser and Photoshop Diva, are going to do!

Using TRUE natural light modified with the subtractive technique will produce superior portraits that will ALWAYS look more natural than ANY flash technique. In addition, with the money you save NOT buying a bunch of speed lights, soft boxes, stands, weights, and radio triggers, you can invest in a REALLY NICE PORTRAIT LENS.  How's that for a WIN--WIN!

Jerry and Kathi have been a, full-time, professional photographic team, doing portraits, weddings, commercial, and fine art, for over 25-years.

In addition to Jerry's PPA Masters Degree and Certification, he used his mastery of light to earn:

PPSCV's Photographer of the Year twice.

Capri Album's National Competition--Portrait Photographer of the Year.

Accolade of Photographic Mastery--WPPI.

Accolade of Outstanding Photographic Achievement--WPPI.

Part of the Fuji Talent Team (2003-2007).
