Lighting on Location: Corporate and Industrial Photography
Corporate and industrial photography is big business for established commercial photographers. Companies have products, services, and facilities that they need to showcase and 'sell' to potential investors, shareholders, as well as customers. There are brochures for corporate identity projects, human resource projects, advertising, and annual report work and often these projects pay day rates of several thousand dollars per day. To earn the business of these large corporations, a photographer must have a portfolio of images that display their ability to handle the project. Diversity is the key! You may be asked to shoot in a clean room, a foundry, an oil platform, or a New York City corporate headquarters, and your ability to handle the projects presented you will insure continued success. We will show you how to create beautiful images from ugly environments, how to make a product shine, and show your client in the best light (For more info on this course click on the above link PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS and then ONLINE COURSES) Starts 03-03, 2010.

Selling your Photography
Someone has just called and wants to use your image in a print project they are working on. They want to know your price! Where do you start, what's the image worth, what should you charge, what are 'usage rights'? These are only a couple of the questions you should consider when asked to provide a client a price for your work. Photography is a product and it costs you money to create images. Most likely they want to use your picture to make money themselves and you have every right to a 'slice of the pie'. We'll show you how to establish a price and negotiate the sale, what to charge, and how to discuss usage rights.

Understanding Color Meters and Mixed Lighting
Do you ever wonder why, when photographing indoors, your images have a green, amber, or blue color shift? This is often the result of photographing in different light sources other than daylight. Fluorescent light is often green in color, living room lamps have an amber tint, and then there are sodium vapors and mercury vapors and other light sources of different color temperatures. Now introduce your strobe lights, which are daylight balanced, into the mix of other light sources and you have a problem known as 'mixed lighting.' To work with strobes in different color light sources you need to have the tools to match light sources to create photographs that are color balanced. Using a custom white balance or auto white balance might get you close, but these methods cant make different lights sources the same color, only provide a compromise. We will show you how to meter for the light and then convert your strobes to match that light and create color balance that is accurate.
