HTL has plenty of Americana locations. Rolling hills, wheat fields, open meadows, underneath abandon train trusses for grunge looks, and old barns to name a few locations. Combining simple and technical studio lighting sets, makes HTL an all inclusive photography workshop for portraits, fashion, glamour, beauty, and fine art. NO questions go unanswered. Drastically reduce years of your learning curve by attending this one workshop.

Optional HDSLR Video Production Class - Fashion Video Shooting comes to HTL this Summer as just another part for photographers interested in also learning DSLR video production.

On the edge of new technologies and upcoming new media is the emerging field of Fashion Video, combining the aspects of fashion photography, film making, storytelling and marketing.  This summer, filmmaker Tim Jackson brings his skills to HTL in a new, exciting four-day track that will get photographers up-to-speed on creating, shooting and producing short fashion videos.

This “workshop within a workshop” will introduce photographers and beginning filmmakers to the aspects of film making with their own HDSLR cameras.  Topics will include concept creation, camera operation, cinema-style lighting, directing models for video, shooting and simple editing techniques.  Participants will be lead through a series of shooting exercises with models and will have the opportunity to assist in a demonstration shoot, which all leads up to creating your own 60-90 second fashion video with a model.  Participants will learn through hands-on experience and in regular review sessions as the class progresses.  All of the work will culminate in showing your film in a Final Screening on the last day with the rest of the HTL workshop.

While all classes will be available to any participant to sit in on, those photographers that can commit to the entire track will benefit the most.  Film making is a more complicated process than still photography, but is still within the grasp of any photographer.  At the completion of the workshop, you should be able to offer this new service to any model, agency or publication.

    Day One – Introduction to Concept, Camera & Lighting for Film
    Day Two – Location Scouting, Wardrobe, Directing & Shooting
    Day Three – Shooting all day (two 4-hour blocks) and reviewing footage
    Day Four – Basic Editing and Final Screening

Photographers are encouraged to bring their own HDSLR camera (with video capabilities) and portable computers pre-loaded with iMovie, Final Cut X, Premiere Pro or any other basic video editing program.  If you have a tripod with a video head, you are encouraged to bring that also.

Tim Jackson, a career photographer who turned his image making skills towards film making five years ago.  His still photography has been published in Rolling Stone, the lingerie issue of WWE Magazine, People, SPIN and numerous other magazines & websites worldwide.   Tim is a former photo editor at SKI Magazine and his photography is currently represented by WireImage & Getty stock agencies.  While attending the MFA Film program at Ohio University, Tim filled his reel with narrative stories, fashion shoots and music videos.  In 2014, he completed his first feature-length documentary, doing everything from shooting & sound to editing & distribution.  Tim specializes in creating video content for the web and Internet distribution.
