I’m extremely excited to be teaching a pair of portrait photography lighting workshops at the Palm Springs Photo Festival on May 1-2, 2014. The PSPF is a great event which brings photographers, photo editors, art buyers and museum curators together for a marvelous week of photography in a gorgeous setting
BRIAN SMITH: BEYOND THE SOFTBOX® Studio Portrait Lighting
Thursday, May 1, 9:00am – 4:00pm
Sponsored by Sony
Celebrity portrait photographer Brian Smith photographs noteworthy and notorious celebrities in his studio as well as on location. In this workshop, he’ll show how he photographs subjects in the studio. He’ll present many different configurations of lighting that allow for his highly unique interpretation of his subjects including how he approaches the sessions, engages with the subject and what happens in post.
The concept of the psychology of light, detailing how lighting choices affect the mood of a photograph and how to select lighting most appropriate to what you want the photograph to ‘say’ will be discussed and examples given.
This is a shooting workshop – attendees will be able to “try on†various styles of lighting to experience how they are used throughout the day.
This class is intended for emerging and professional photographers as well as advanced amateurs. It is an intermediate and advanced class.
Price: $400 (Includes model fees and lunch)
($360 if taken in conjunction with Beyond the Softbox® Portrait Lighting on Location, Friday, May 2, 9:00am – 4:00pm)

Environmental portraits capture both personality and place. Celebrity portrait photographer Brian Smith photographs noteworthy and notorious celebrities in the locations where they live, work and play. In this workshop, he’ll show how he photographs subjects on location so that the environment adds another dimension to the shoot with examples of how he approaches lighting subjects on location whether it’s a large production shoot of a famous subject or simply the someone he met on the street while traveling.
This is a shooting workshop – attendees will be able to “try on†various styles of location lighting to experience how they are used throughout the day.
