Joe has traveled throughout Japan, China, Korea, Russia, and most of the United States photographing weddings, fashion, or commercial assignments. His work has graced the cover of many magazines on local and national levels. His own unique style of wedding photography comes from his background in fashion photography combined with his experience in photojournalism creating his "Cinematic" style. This style allows him to shoot quickly and unobtrusively yet providing the most flattering lighting techniques to recreate the ambiance of your location. Joe can only photograph a limited number of weddings per year, spending part of the year teaching his techniques to others so book him quickly. Joe's seminar schedule will be available soon with the next one tentatively scheduled for May of 2008.

NEW SEMINAR Wednesday May 14, 10am - 4pm
How to photograph a wedding
(Anderson, IN) only $149 per person

Joe has developed a new seminar designed to teach photographers how to photograph a wedding.  This seminar would be good for beginners as well as those who have been shooting for quite some time but definitely for studios seeking to educate their employees.  Many seminars come to town by big name photographers who do very good work but do nothing but show slideshows of their work in perfectly lit California weather.  Joe believes a seminar targeted for the concerns of the midwest photographer have never been met and seeks to change that.  Joe Brewster also believes that Photoshop should only be used to enhance an image, not to save it so Photoshop will not be a discussion at this seminar. 

Topics covered will include but not limited to:

• Exposure
• Lenses
• Flash Techniques
• How to use Strobes
• Composition
• Developing a "style"
• Things to look for
• Portrait Basics
• Alter Shots (Formals)
• Framing for groups
• Rules & When to break them
• Understanding light
• What to do when the lighting is bad

This will be a workshop and lecture with a workbook.  All participants should bring their own cameras and memory cards.  Bride and Groom models will be provided for everyone to be able to photograph.  Locations to include a local park and a church. 

If you would like to see Joe Brewster come to your area to teach a seminar, please email us and let us know.

Seating is limited so please reserve as soon as possible.  Please call 317-679-8895 to reserve your spot.  Credit cards accepted.
