We at www.TiltnShift.com (the educational side of Henry Wang Photography) are very excited to share what we have planned for you for the upcoming months so far. We have a wide spectrum of events planned and will cater to photographers at all stages of their artistic careers. There are 2 meet-ups that will help those who are thinking about beginning their wedding photography careers. We also have a shootout planned for those who want to build up their portfolios with some good looking couples in full on wedding attire (not a $50 dress from goodwill…) and professionally done hair and makeup! Also, for the shootout, we will be giving you the opportunity to shoot both in the studio as well as an outdoor location. Next, we will be hosting our 1st all day bootcamp/workshop that will cover how to utilize your on-camera speedlights to create artistic lighting and avoid that hated direct-flash look that most people get with those lights and we’ll have live models on hand to teach you how to get the most out of how much time the bride and groom gives you for their portraits or just how to maximize your surroundings to get shots that will SELL! Finally, due to popular demand, we are going to be having a boudoir portfolio shoot (very limited spaces) at Henry’s studios in Temple City with 2 models with multiple background/set changes and different lighting styles for different looks.
But what we are super excited to share with all of you is the opportunity to put all of that skill and practice to use in a REAL wedding! You’ll get the opportunity to shoot along side 2 experienced photographers. We wanted to provide a well rounded experience for all the attendees of this REAL wedding shoot so we will also include a pre-wedding prep session as well as a post-wedding critique. This is a rare opportunity to be able to get an all-around experience that will take your photographic skill to the next level.

For some of you who follows my blog (THANK YOU!!!) know that my brother from another mother, Doug McNamee and I have been hosting workshops, shooting sessions/shootouts, and portfolio reviews for photographers looking to advance their photographic skills under the TiltnShift.com brand. We’ve previously hosted Bride and Groom Posing Workshops, Advance On-Camera Flash bouncing and usage workshops, Vintage Boudoir Sessions, and numerous shooting sessions at Union Station, Santa Fe Dam, San Gabriel Mission, and upcoming Santa Monica! But one thing that we hear from our event attendees are that they would learn so much more/better if they could tag along to shoot with us at an actual wedding. Well, you asked and we listened!
This time, NO MORE MODELS! Real Wedding Workshop – Adam & Leelee’s big day!

Today Doug and I hosted another Bridal Shootout/Workshop at my studio in Temple City. We had a great turnout with more than 10 photographers in attendance! It was awesome today shooting and sharing some tips with all the photographers regarding general wedding photography, posing the bride and groom (in different situations), and some on and off camera lighting. I was so busy running around checking out some of the photographers’ work that I almost didn’t have any time to take any pictures to show off here on my blog! But thanks to my crew of interns (Magic, Jonathan, and Josh) for holding my flash and helping out with everything I squeezed some time into the session to get a few shots off. Also, an extra interesting note is that one of the attendees is actually the groom from a wedding I shot in 2008! And to top that off, his lovely wife stopped by AND THEY’RE 14 weeks pregnant!!! Big congrats Ricky and Kate! To check out more images from today’s shoot, please hop on over to the TiltnShift site at www.TiltnShift.com.
Yesterday, Doug Mcnamee and I hosted our first of many workshops at my studio in Temple City. We rocked it and so did all the attendees of our event. We had a studio natural light session, studio strobe session, then a outdoor (flash, off camera flash, and natural light) session….Again, my trusty assistant Magic rocked the event with his Vado camera and was kind enough to make a little video of the studio portion of our workshop. Check it out below….some of my shots to follow.
