FingerOnShutter: Zack and Joe

Not everyday you get to see two masters in one location, let alone having the opportunity to witness them both poking fun at each other. It was a very casual workshop with lots of interaction between Zack, Joe and us the audience.

The table of possibly Joe’s equipment in preparation for his “many lights” demonstration.

That’s Joe busy on his Mac.. with Drew …. probably checking his Twitter updates. OK. I was a bit restless while waiting for the workshop to start, so I took a quick shot. :)

So anyways, it was held at Taylor’s lakeside campus, in one of their lecture halls. It was a bit intimidating as I walked into the lecture hall. It was university all over again!! But this time, instead of sitting at the back of the lecture hall, Jason and I decided to go all the way up front, where all the action will be.

Louis took to the stage and introduced the workshop in general and of course, Zack who commanded the morning session.

As mentioned, it was a very relaxed session.

After some presentation slides, Zack moved on to a little demonstration with the lovely Evon.

Zack demonstrated with several modifiers to give a glimpse into the different light effects they have on the model.

After a delightful demonstration, we broke for lunch.

… and when we returned late from lunch.. here’s Joe..

Nah.. kidding..

.. Joe started his session by poking fun at Zack.. who was poking fun at Joe during his morning session.

As mentioned, we were seated right in front. This was how close we were. Shot using full frame with 50mm lens. Excuse the noise.. was shooting at ISO6400 and boosted exposure. hahaha. The lights were all turned off and the only source of light was reflected from the projector screen.
