Mentoring Sessions Now Available

 Mentoring Sessions now available for sale!

Alexia Wardell Photography is now offering a variety of mentoring sessions.  These sessions can be booked for Jan 2012 on, but will make a fantastic Christmas gift for anyone who loves photography!

The sessions are as follows:

Basic DSLR camera use:  $100 
This is an approx 2 hour session where we will go over camera basics such as:
Aperture
ISO
Shutter Speed
How to properly read the light
White Balance
File Usage
etc...
We will spend about half the session photographing the object(s) of your choice in manual mode so that you can truly gain control over your pictures.  

Basic Composition for Photography: $100

In this session we will spend less time going over the basics of the camera and get more into composition.  We will start out by going over some basic rules of composition, and then spend the remainder of the time executing those rules in photographic practice.  This session is more of a hands on practice.  I will give you a few tips and techniques that will help you visualize your picture before you even capture it.  For this session you are required to have a basic knowledge of how your camera works and it's different functions. 


Basic Photoshop Editing for Portraiture: $75
 
This session does require you to have photoshop.  A basic knowledge of photoshop functions is helpful, but not necessarily required.  In this session we will spend a few minutes photographing a portrait, and then spend the remainder of the time learning how to make that portrait flawless.  We will go over retouching skin, brightening eyes,  removing basic objects and how to make that portrait really pop. 


Modeling Session:  $150 ( On Sale for $75)  

This session is for anyone who is thinking about modeling and wants to learn more.   This session will last approx 2 hours and we will go over:
Contracts - your rights as a model
Modeling Basics - branding, types of models, etc...
Posing
Lighting
We will spend half the session doing a photo shoot and you will get the opportunity to choose 2 of your favorite shots. You will also get a free headshot.

Basic Lighting for Businesses:  $100

Lighting for products is completely different than lighting for fashion.  This session is approx 90 min. and is geared towards your business and product ( i.e. clothing, jewelry, food, etc..)  We will go over:

Lighting basics-  natural light, hot lights etc...
Color Temperature 
How to compose a shot
In expensive techniques to light your own product shots.  
We will also do a short photo shoot with the product of your choice.  You will set up your own shot and I will guide you through it.
It is suggested that you have your own DSLR camera, however, because this class is about lighting more than about photography, it is not required.
