Lose
your fear of creating your own light, in this demonstration of how to use a
flash to make better images indoors.
George Simian, a leading East-Coast commercial photographer (now based
in LA) and educator (UCLA Extension, Samy’s Camera, American Photographic Artists)
will show you how to master basic lighting concepts and skills, managing both
the quality (hard vs. soft) and the direction (frontal vs. indirect) of light. This workshop will begin at 2:00 p.m. and
last until 4:00 p.m. in the Library’s Barth Community Room on Saturday,
September 23.
George Simian
started out as a photography teacher in 1973 at Cornell University,
excited to "expose" newcomers to the wonders of the latent silver
image, and its magical manifestation in the darkroom. When his career moved on
to commercial photography, he became a mentor to his assistants, as well
as presenting one-day seminars for photographers' organizations, and for
various manufacturers. Relocating to Los
Angeles, George re-engaged with teaching as an avocation, and practiced it in
various classrooms, location workshops, and one-on-one. He continues to offer individual coaching,
meeting with various emerging photographers with very different interests, and
at different experience levels. He finds
it amazing how much one can accomplish when working side-by-side, focused exclusively
on the issue at hand.
George is a longtime member
of the APA - American Photographic Artists.
