Workshop Description

In this workshop Peter throws you into the mix after having previously going through his Mastering the Headshot workshop. You'll spend time working with Peter on digging deeper into the concepts that are proven to make each headshot session a success. This one day workshop is open to anyone who has previously taken  Mastering the Headshot workshop. The ideas you learned during Mastering the Headshot are expanded upon here using Peter as a guinea pig to help you apply those concepts in a live setting.  

The Headshot Intensified topics include: 

Headshot Theory

• Your internal Road Map: Expanding upon your path for communicating with your subject in order to take them from Zero to Shabang!
• Keeping them on their toes: Fine tuning the back and forth between you and your subject using direct direction and misdirection.
• Busting Through The Turbulence: Techniques for turning a subject’s attitude from negative to positive. 
• Going Off The Beaten Path: What’s your curveball? Delving into the unknown to find and angle that works for you. 
• When to kick it into Autopilot: It’s your day too, controlling vs. being controlled.
• Going For Blood: Moving beyond simply giving them a headshot and turning the time you’ve spent with them into a life experience.

Getting your shoot on:

• Hammering out the Hurley system: Taking advantage of Peter’s signature Hurley System or what he likes to call his: Pre-shutter release checklist
• Workin Your Gopher Light: Understanding the importance of consistency of light and finding a setup that works best for you.
• Taking On Your Toughest Subject: Peter will be putting you on the spot by seeing precisely how you direct and handle a subject by becoming one! This process allows him to get a real handle on where you are as a whole and allows him to touch on your strengths and weaknesses from a firsthand point of view.
• Perfecting your edit: The editing process is not only used for choosing the best shots and eliminating other’s, it’s also a powerful coaching tool that we’ll be exploring. 
• Finding your style: The importance of working on your color palate and overall aesthetic to develop a unique look to your work.
