Phoenix: Architecture & Real Estate Photography Workshop

TR-10This is a two-day workshop in Scottsdale, Arizona. Tony Roslund will be instructing an interactive class on architecture and real estate photography essentials and he will be joined by 2014 Photography for Real Estate Photographer of the Year Barry Mackenzie.

The class will cover composition and lighting techniques including the use of modifiers, polarization, and common grip tools. Students will receive guidance on pricing, marketing, and communicating with clients. Students will participate in live shoots at both residential and commercial properties, with additional opportunities to participate in a twilight exterior shoot. Tony and Barry will identify and teach the key elements that define and separate real estate and architecture photography, providing attendees with a foundation to successfully work in both genres. Students will be divided into teams for a hands-on opportunity to use the techniques and equipment demonstrated by Tony and Barry.  The following lists identify a portion of the curriculum the duo will present during the workshop:
