WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP INTENSIVE FOR?

This three-day workshop intensive is for photographers looking to fast track themselves to creating powerful and compelling real estate and architectural imagery.  Marc will cover everything you’ll need to know over three intense days of learning to create images like you see in this blog post and on my Luxury Real Estate blog. He’ll go over what gear: cameras, lenses, primes, zooms and Tilt/Shift lenses, grip gear, lighting, light shaping tools, software, and postproduction techniques he uses and why and how to use them. It doesn’t matter what camera system you use, as long as you have a DSLR or mirrorless camera that you know your way around:  Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Olympus and Sony are all fine. We’ll also be covering business strategies from client acquisition to client delivery, contracts and licensing of imagery.  Read on to learn more about Marc’s Southern California Luxury Real Estate Workshop Intensive experience.

“These intensives are intense.  No kidding. The days are long.  You’ll be challenged, you’ll learn new techniques and new material. At the end of each day, you’ll leave energized by what you’ve learned to take your craft and business to the next level,  and because you’ve worked your brain hard you’ll also be ready for some rest so you can approach the next new day and put to use the knowledge you gained during your intensive.” ~ Mw-
