Fong Shui: Harmony with the Art of Posing and Lighting
Learn to create perfect harmony, and you’ll be able to handle any subject’s body size and type! With over 30 years practicing the art of photography, Hanson will show you how to do this with successful techniques (for posing and lighting) that apply to both portrait and wedding photography.
Proper lighting and posing helps you to create highly desirable, beautiful, and timeless portraits.
Start by learning the “Classic 10 Poses” to help you analyze all those different bodies. You’ll soon recognize the poses that will result in a proportional balance of the various body sizes to each other…enabling you to pose any family grouping, couple, or bride and groom. You’ll also learn the secret to the elegant dance of posing that is Hanson’s “flow posing.” In addition, he will share lighting and metering techniques to photograph under any lighting condition, indoors and outdoors, any place, anytime.
The key element to being a successful photographer is to make people look great, and Hanson shows you how he does it every time.

The "Experiential Style:" A Fresh Approach to Wedding Photography
What is it that makes certain people’s work award-winning? And what is it about Jim Garner’s photography and design that continues to bring him awards and recognition as one of the leading wedding photographers in the world? Maybe it’s simpler and more approachable than you think—Jim will prove it to you in this remarkable program.
Jim Garner, who studied the style of photographers from around the world, has developed his own unique style and approach for influencing the way his weddings unfold in the Pacific Northwest. By concerning himself primarily with the actual experience a couple has on their wedding day, and making the act of capturing the story secondary to this, he has learned to consistently create beautiful stories full of real life, expression and natural moments.
By using simple techniques and influencing the actual schedule of the day, the old expression, “when you give a little, it comes back to you tenfold,” has been tested and proven true in this new style and approach.
