This is the class you, Hanson’s students, designed. Here’s what you say you want to do – and here’s what we will do:

Since Hanson is famous for both his posing and lighting, we will do both. But, this time, instead of spending most of our time in the classroom, we will spend most of our time lighting, posing and shooting.

Of course, we will have Hanson give a quick classroom course – just to remind us of the techniques we will be using.

Then, we will start to pose, light and shoot. Pose, light and shoot some more. And, more and more. You get the idea. This will be a VERY hands on workshop.

Our plan is to split you into smaller groups. Hanson will be the teacher; I’ll be the teaching assistant. Each group will be given an assignment, be it in the studio, outdoors, or in one of the showrooms. Hanson will travel to each group. I will support the groups when he is not with them.

Hanson is the master of shooting large groups. Remember, he claims that he’s never met a group he can’t pose. To practice posing groups, we will work with each other. We are usually so diverse that we present big challenges.

When it comes down to posing individuals, we will have a model or two who will be paid. Why is it important that the model be paid? Because, you will be given full releases by the model so that you can use the images on your websites and in your advertisements.

You’ve asked for a class where you apply the techniques you’ve been learning. This is it!

Even if you’ve not had Hanson’s prior classes, you are more than welcome to come. We expect you to be familiar with your camera and meter, able to take readings and make settings. You need not know much more than that. That’s why we have classes. Hanson will teach his techniques that apply to both fine art and photojournalistic photography.

Hanson’s classes have always filled within a few days of posting. To ensure you get in, enroll soon!
