Colorado Strobist presents David Tejada




Last night I went to my first Colorado Strobist meeting. There was about thirty of us packed into the studio to listen to what David Tejada has been doing with lighting.

David is a annual report corporate shooter that specializes corporate reports, editorials and the such. His work usually take him out in the field, but he can make the guys in ties look good too.

David talked for over a two hours on his lighting techniques while showing off his slide show of unbelievable work. He's been in places most of wish we could and a whole lot of places I don't think I'd want to be. i.e. Half a mile underground in a nuclear salt mine, or a lithium treatment plant.

David answer everyone questions on lighting and then gave some helpful tips on surviving the economy. All that without plugging his own Small Strobes-Big Results workshop (except maybe twice).

For my first round up with the Colorado Strobist I had a great time talking to old friends and catching up with some new ones. I'm looking forward to the next Colorado Strobist meeting. This time in Cheyenne Wyoming?

Photos from the workshop...

I finished the photos from David Tejada's Small Strobes, Big Results workshop I took on August 23rd. I'd like to thank Dephedre from Model Mayhem #775164 and Colin Cheadle for letting me shoot them.

Small Strobes, Big Results workshop




Last Saturday the 23rd, I took David Tejada's Small Strobes, Big Results workshop. This was absolutely fun!!! Besides there being a bunch of great photographers from around the country there, David and his assistants are a blast to spend the day with. I made several new Photography friends who got to witness me attempt to drink a 64oz. margarita. :-O



David explained lighting in a easy to understand way. I fully believe that after taking this workshop I have the confidence to light any location with any creative idea that crosses my mind.

If you want to understand and control your light TAKE THIS WORKSHOP! You can find more information at Small Strobes, Big Results.


I'll have some behind the scene video as soon as i'm done editing it down.

Light Education....

I'm so excited for this weekend to come. I've signed up for the lighting class Small Strobes, Big Results, with David X. Tejada. He is an amazing photographer who can command the light to do exactly what he wants.



The class is all day Saturday and I cant wait!!! I want to see how he gets such great lighting with only little speed lights. He uses the Nikon SB-800s, and even though I have only 1 of those I'm looking forward to using the 4 Vivitar 285's I have.

If you haven't seen what David does check out his blog and watch his videos he's putting up on Youtube.

I'll let you all know how the class goes next week. I'm also looking to go downtown for the Democratic National Convention and see what I can get.
