Come join us behind the scenes at the Circus! (with our studio quality lighting). We will have several aerial performers to photograph on various apparatus such as trapeeze, lyra, silks, vertcal pole and hammock. The models will be a combination of amature and professional aerialists. They will perform for your photographic pleasure.
Midwest Photography Workshops will provide studio lights on this location shoot. The studio lights will be bright enough that the photographer will not need to raise their ISO and therefore minimize noise. Carefull attention will be spent on white balance and composition. With the studio strobes and moving performers, stop action will be easy to capture the “Decisive Moment” so prized in sports and performance photos.
Each of the performers will repeat their performance multiple times to insure that each photographer will “GET THE SHOT”! Not only will the photographers get an opportunity to shoot with our studio lights, but can shoot using available light as well. Tripods will not be needed nor welcome. However, all photograhers and performers must wear socks with no shoes to protect the floor. Class size will be SRICTLY limited to ten students to insure that each photographer gets ample shooting. This is a two-hour workshop because the perfomers will become fatigued long before the photographers will.
The models working for you will be paid by the photographers by providing several of their best photographs saved to a USB media card without the photographers watermark so the performers can use the images in their portfolio or post on social media. Photographers "Forgetting or Failing" to provide images will not be welcome in future MPW events.
