Fashion Posing and Lighting with Seniors. We will be looking at multiple types of lighting: Studios Strobes, OCF, LED Studio and outside. We will be using multiple modifies so that you can get different effects and results. This will be hands on workshop, so bring your cameras and Godox Triggers, LED lights will also be in use (no extra equipment required). Through out each of the lighting set-ups we will be learning the Elements of Posing. By breaking down posing into simple steps we can learn how to pose any body type in any situation.

After pursuing two other careers and enjoying them tremendously, I decided it was time to follow a life-long passion of portrait photography. I started relearning in the late nineties and began David Beckham Photography and set up a basement studio. My goal was to be just like the pioneers of senior photography, Kent Smith and Larry Peters, but cheaper. I had visions of growing to tremendous proportions. Well that dream never happened. As soon as I developed my own fashion-based style, my own Senior Model Program, and my own way of using OCF did I make an impact. I opened my full-time studio in 2009 and have seen 15-25% growth every year since. In 2012 I changed to only offering Senior and Fashion photography and my best sales ever.
In 2020 I earned the Masters of Photography from the PPA and I am the President of the Professional Photographers of Ohio. I was honored with the PPA National Award in 2020. My work has been published in many national magazines including the Cover of PPA Magazine. I write two or three articles a year for Shutter Magazine. A Photo of mine was awarded the Grand Imaging award for Best Senior Photo in 2019 and I had a TOP 10 photo in the 2016. Senior Style Guide has chosen my work six years in a row for their coveted Hot 100 list. I was honored to be a platform teacher at Imaging USA in 2022 and they asked me back to do it again in 2023! I speak and teach at multiple PPA events, SYNC in 2018, 2019 and 2020, Shutterfest 16, 17, 18, 19 and 21. I also lead “Everything Senior Workshops” from my studio and on location 4-6 times a year. I host and educational Facebook Group called ASKDavid.
