Each attendee will receive the opportunity to shoot in several different lighting situations. Students will learn to set up lights, adjust the settings on the lights and the cameras and even learn to pose and direct the models. Each attendee will get the chance to use our provided studio lights & equipment to practice shooting studio portraits while David Molnar is coaching and answering every question.
April 8th - Afternoon Session

FAQS
What airport should I fly into?
Nashville International Airport (BNA) is where you'll be flying into for our workshops. Being an international airport, you should be able to find many flight options for the weekend.
How do I get from the airport to the venue?
Our studio is about 20 miles (25 min drive) south of the airport in the town of Franklin. If you're renting a car, it's really easy to get to and we have plenty of parking available. If you're planning to Uber/Lyft, then once you're at the studio, everything is within a couple miles.
Is there a dress code?
Dress comfortably! These workshops are a mix of classroom style and actively moving around while you work with your camera & lights. We encourage you to wear whatever will make you comfortable for 6-8 hours full immersion training.
What gear should I bring?
Bring your camera bag with your camera, lenses and your computer. These workshops are hands-on and it would be wise to have your own gear available so that you can master the skills you'll be learning with your own equipment. If you're attending Day 2 (Editing with Lightroom and Photoshop), you will need to have your computer there to follow along using those two software programs.
What will the weather be like in April?
Highs in the 60's and 70's is pretty average for April. We'll be moving around and staying active, so plan on wearing layers in case you get too warm.
Venue & Location
Westlight Studios in Franklin, TN
Our workshops will take place at the studio where David has shot most of his clients in a studio environment. We'll also be going off-site (near the studio) for some outdoor natural light training as well.
