Professional Wedding Photography | Beckstead Workshop Summary

        With his use of LED lighting, cheese graters, and different angles during this Professional Wedding Photography Workshop, David Beckstead teaches how to create visually appealing and unique images no matter what time of day.  Starting in the studio, Beckstead teaches how to shoot using LED flashlights and incorporating tools such as a knitting kit from your local Walmart.  Finding everyday items to shoot with is Beckstead’s specialty, as he uses them to create images with dramatic shadows and patterns.

Beckstead teaches how to compose the perfect shot and works with shadows and direct sunlight, usually considered photographer no-no’s, and created jaw dropping images in locations just around the corner.  At his workshop, Beckstead shows how to shoot at midday and still get beautiful images, even in the harsh light.  With the correct placement of the model, the framing of the shot turns out to include the use of different shadows and patterns all while flattering the model.
