Sally is sponsored by Arlington Camerahttp://www.arlingtoncamera.comCanon is the host of this Golden Hour Shooting Experience program. http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/home. Sally uses a Canon 5D Mark III and Canon lenses.This hands-on shooting experience with Sally Molhoek is a full, fanciful styled session in the golden Texas sun. Transform an ordinary playdate between two children into a magical, light-filled story right out of the storybooks. Sally will guide attendees, stressing keen observation to watch for different kinds of evening light and how it can help tell the story, and she will assist you in interacting with the models to encourage genuine expression and affection with one another. Using light, expression, and genuine interaction to the utmost advantage, even with minimal props, you will come away with images that fuel the imagination and make the heart happy.
Learning Objectives:
1. Learn to choose props, wardrobe, and location, and why simple is often better.
2. Observe the way the light changes, and how to capitalize on each change.
3. Work with children and encourage genuine expression and affection.
4. Learn how to be flexible and adapt when opportunity or reality differs from the plan.
5. Learn how to pose, set up and stage, and know when the "staging" should end.
This Golden Hour Shooting Experience will take place at the Alamo (just a short walk from the Marriott Rivercenter). Established in 1724 as Mission San Antonio de Valero – the first mission in San Antonio – the Alamo is known as the "Shrine of Texas Liberty" and is the number one tourist destination in Texas.
The Alamo has two distinct features— the buildings/walls and the lush greenery. Access to the buildings and walls is fairly easy from outside the Alamo itself or at several points inside the gates. The greenery provides full or partial coverage, allowing you to play with the amount of natural light as well as the direction. Even though you’ll be able to see other photographers due to the layout of the Alamo, you’ll find that creative use of the greenery can give a very private, or “Secret Garden,” feel to your images. There are several benches at a number of places within the walls. If you head outside the gates, you’ll find a bigger common area and more bright, unobstructed sunlight. The Alamo has been reserved for Click Away on this evening, so you won't have to work around public visitors if you plan to remain inside the gates near the Alamo gardens.
