FUSION: THE WORKSHOP will be held in Las Vegas, NV on FEBRUARY 19-22, 2021. Limited space available.
WHAT IS IT?
OUR INSTRUCTORS
DAN ROWE
Dan Rowe will be leading our photography portion of the workshop, and will discuss lighting, posing, his thought process during his shoots, and more. Dan has twice taken 1st place in WPPI's then IPC High School Senior category as well as earning the SYNC Photographer of the Year award. The combination of his skill, knowledge and talent allow him to create amazing images in any situation.
JENN LEWIS
Jenn Lewis will lead our business discussions. She'll spend a portion of the time teaching her in person sales program and how she accomplishes a $4000 average sale in her senior business, and we'll spend the rest of the time round table discussion-style, chatting about whatever is holding you back from your business goals, from sales to senior model programs, to client experience and more. We'll have the opportunity to really dig in deep to the business side of things, and with a small group, you'll get your questions answered!

GARON COOPER
You'll get to spend time learning epic cinematic filmmaking from Garon Cooper. Y'all, this is a real treat. There are a lot of photographers out there teaching video, but Garon is both a photographer AND filmmaker who will teach you to shoot video like a filmmaker. He knows how to teach photographers because he IS a photographer. He understands how we see things, and he knows what to teach us to set us apart from the other photographers who are shooting video. We'll start the day with instruction on shooting video, then finish the day learning some basic video editing techniques. We'll be using Final Cut Pro, but what you learn about editing will be transferable to any professional video editing tool. If you want to know why he's the filmmaking expert you want to learn from, click the video above! See more here!

GHOST TOWN
One of the incredible locations we'll be shooting at is the Ghost Town in Nelson, NV. With everything from old vehicles, crashed airplanes, pianos, old buildings and more spread all across their property, it's like a photographer's playground.

Make sure you're in the FUSION facebook group to keep up with everything!
Friday: arrival and meet and greet (snacks provided) at 7pm at the instructors' house in Henderson. Get to know your fellow attendees, chat with the instructors, and Garon will get us started with a presentation to help prepare us for the filmmaking portion of the weekend!
Saturday: We'll shoot at the Ghost Town from approximately 11am-330pm. (Pack a lunch or snack!) Photo and video with Dan, Garon, and Jenn. You'll split into small groups and rotate through all 3 instructors (Dan and Jenn for photo and Garon for video). Then we'll head down the road toward Lake Mojave for sunset. Sunset is around 527pm, then the rest of your evening is free!
Sunday: Early lunch on your own, then we'll shoot at the dry lake bed most of the day through sunset, splitting into groups again and rotating through instructors. We'll head back to the house and have pizza night and Garon will go over video editing.
Monday: We'll be back at the instructors' house for this one. Be ready to chat business. From sales to senior model teams, bring your questions! This will be an informal round table style discussion. You'll be on your own for the lunch break. You'll want to stick around through Monday evening, so plan for a red eye flight home that night or to leave on Tuesday morning.
