Learn how to get BIG RESULTS from small strobes!
Join me, corporate annual report photographer David Tejada, for this one day lighting workshop. With 25 years of location lighting experience under my belt, I’ll show you that you don’t need to load yourself down with lots of expensive gear to achieve big results.
You'll learn how to:
• control and modify the quality of light produced from a typical shoe mounted flash;
• properly use umbrellas, soft boxes, snoots, grids, silks and bounce techniques;
• use a single strobe combined with existing light as well as more complicated multiple light set-ups;
• PLUS bonus pro photo business information.
"Thanks for a great learning experience and a well organized, informative workshop. Your desire to help was very evident, your communication skills were very good and I especially liked the way you set up the shots so that we could participate, ask questions, try different things. Through this process we were able to gain insight into your creative thought process. Your team carried the same spirit of sharing and they were also a delight to work with. The resource CD is excellent and contains some very useful and easily overlooked information. Your sharing of devices you have made/modified to make lighting easier and less costly are also appreciated. Personally, I thank you for sharing, not only your experiences working with corporate clients, but your candor in how to work with them and to provide excellent service at a fair market value. In short, it was a pleasure to learn for a "real working" photographer. "Small strobes/big results"---HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ~ Mike Schultz

Use Your Flash OFF Camera
We’ll spend a lot of time learning how light works and how to get consistent results with your flash photography. You’ll leave this workshop knowing how to use your flash off camera and how to consistently achieve the results you want. You’ll be able to confidently produce a portrait in any environment that you encounter on location.
"I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your workshop this weekend. The workshop was very well organized and you have a great teaching style. I especially appreciated how many different lighting setups we went through. That was by far the best one day photography seminar I've attended. The information was very practical and I plan on using that easy headshot setup we did while taking a few corporate headshots this week at work. The workshop was just what I was looking for. I'll be keeping an eye out for your 5 day Santa Fe Workshops class next year. That sounds like a lot of fun. Please thank your assistants Erik and Ian for me. They really helped keep everything on track and running smoothly. Feel free to use this email as an endorsement if you like. Thanks again!" ~ Jim Rice

Shoot and Learn
Participants will have the opportunity to shoot each of the lighting demos with their own cameras as well as the lighting set-ups during the workshop. Lighting demos are a wonderful way to build a catalog of lighting effects that you can draw on for future reference.
"David Tejada is a great photographer and teacher. His workshop, Small Strobes Big Results, has given me an excellent foundation for which to further my off camera lighting techniques. David's style is friendly and hands on. His enthusiasm and passion for the subject is inspiring. His expertise in lighting techniques and his knowledge of the industry are invaluable. If you have the opportunity to take one of his workshops, I'd definitely recommend that you do. Take care." ~ Josh

Bonus: Important Business Information
In addition to the lighting aspect of this workshop, I’ll share my experience in developing a successful corporate photography business as well as how I handle my current workflow.
"Hey David, just wanted to thank you for the informative lighting workshop. It's nice to know I don't need to break the bank or my back for that matter to have great lighting. It's always inspiring to work with such a talented and crafty photographer. Thanks again and take care." ~ Don Karle

This workshop is designed for the emerging pro or for those contemplating doing so, as well as serious hobbyists. This workshop does not show you how to use your camera. You should understand the relationship between shutter speeds and F-stops, such as what the difference is between f/1.4 and f/22.
This workshop is a very condensed version of my week long workshop at the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops in Santa Fe, NM.
