The Get Real Workshops – Dec 7-8 in Columbus, Georgia

Joe Milton — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:26:43 +0000

ISPWP members Joe Dallas (jk Dallas Photography) and Dave Jackson (DAVIDEJACKSON // A PHOTOGRAPHER) are joining with other great photographers Chuck Arlund, Zack Arias, Bambi Cantrell, Dawn Shields, and Jim Garner for The Get Real Workshops.

From The Get Real Workshops website:

The Get Real Workshops is a growing network of our industry’s up and comers, trailblazers, rebels and truth speakers. These photographers are hard working hustlers who have studios, families and responsibilities. Above all, each of our photographers have found their own way in the industry and most importantly have figured out a way to pay their bills with a camera in their hands.

This workshop series focuses less on the glossy veneer and more on the down n’ dirty of running a successful business and being a better photographer.

What to Expect.

The Get Real Workshops are extensive two day educational programs which include practical lessons on improving your business and photography. The syllabus for each workshop is handled by two or more photographers, often including guest speakers for extended evening programs. These workshops will be less about buying the latest action pack and more about honing your skills to become a better business person and photographer. The workshops include live model shoots, image critiques and hands on training for posing, lighting and composition. Depending upon the instructors, the syllabus from workshop to workshop will vary slightly. All the workshops include The Get Real business program that discusses principles that will help you examine your business, persona and identity to help attract the right kind of clients for you.

Who should come?

Get Real is for photographers who have a basic technical knowledge and are looking to improve. Basics will be discussed, but not at length, so a solid understanding of the technical aspects of photography is highly recommended.

What to bring.

Bring yourself, lots of energy, a camera, lenses, flash and Pocket Wizards if you have them. A laptop would also be beneficial for taking notes and working on your images.

How much is it and what is included?

The workshop price is $650 and will include breakfast, and lunch for both days.

For more information and the registration form, check out The Get Real Workshops website.
