Photography Outing to Nossi College of Art & Design

Nossi BMW

On Friday, July 17 from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, we are excited to offer an exclusive, hands-on workshop at Nossi College of Art & Design. Tom Stanford, Photography Program Director, will be hosting us and providing demos and guidance.

Space is limited to 12–15 members to reduce crowding in the two available studio spaces. Submit your Hold Harmless Agreement early to secure your place!

What’s on the Agenda?

Step-by-Step Model Lighting: See a live model setup, starting with a single light and adding modifiers step-by-step. The camera will be tethered directly to a monitor so you can see exactly how each light changes the mood and depth in real-time. Take advantage of this setup and model to try your own shots.

Have a child or family member who would like to be a model for the group? We would be happy to have a couple additional models. A Hold Harmless Agreement is required for models.

Automotive Light Painting: Turn down the lights for some long-exposure magic. Tom is bringing his Porsche Boxster to shoot against a black backdrop, and we’ll be learning about the techniques needed to make a vehicle look like a work of art. Light-painted car photos yield spectacular, high-end results that look like commercial ads!

Infinity Wall Feature: Do you own a cool classic car, an eye-catching sports car, or a vintage ride? We have room to bring one member’s car directly into the studio to shoot against the studio’s infinity wall. Reply directly to Lyra Hankins if you’d like it to be yours!

Bonus Product Shot: Time permitting, we will also dive into a dramatic product shot featuring live fire elements.

The Details:

Gear to Pack: Just bring your camera and a tripod. Nossi will supply the lighting equipment and studio setup.

Where to Park: Head to the rear parking lot and look for the large roll-up door—that will be our main entrance since the campus is closed on Fridays.

Hold Harmless Agreement: As with all BPG outings, please ensure you submit a Hold Harmless Agreement. For this outing, due to the limited space, members only please unless you are bringing a model!

Following the outing, members are encouraged to submit one image to be featured in our Outings Gallery. Please size your image to 2000 pixels on the longest edge.
