KRANK Photography workshops – behind the scenes

Last Sunday I had the pleasure of attending the KRANK Photography studio lighting workshop at Dragon Image in Mansfield. I was invited to be a ‘fly on the wall’, to document the day and show you what KRANK Photography workshops consist of.

I’ve always wanted to attend one of these workshops but I was afraid that I’d have to know EVERYTHING and that I’d feel overwhelmed. I was so relieved to find that at KRANK all the hassle is taken out of the equation and you just show up and shoot.

Glen Krohn and Deborah Boots (who run the workshops) set everything up with the help of stylists and assistants. As you arrive Glen takes you through the setup, letting you know how each of the scenes works (there were 5 different scenes/studios at this particular workshop). To make things even easier all your camera settings are given to you for each scene, so you can go ahead and shoot.

You partner up with other attendees to form a trio and then each trio has a studio for 15 minutes, which gives you all plenty of time to shoot. Models are experienced and ready to take your direction. Glen shares plenty of his knowledge about photography, post production and the business of photography in general.

Some prior photography knowledge is required, as is your own camera. Apart from that you just need to show up and enjoy the day.
