Experience Our Hands-On Photography Workshops and Inspiring Meetups!

Introduction to Our Workshop and meetup Series:
Workshops:
Our in person workshop series held right here in our studio. These workshops, limited to a small group of attendees per session (usually four), is part of a monthly series designed to provide an intimate learning experience. Our goal is to offer a personalized approach to teaching, ensuring that each participant not only understands the techniques discussed but also feels confident in applying them to their own photography. By combining hands-on shooting opportunities with expert guidance, we aim to help you capture stunning additions for your portfolio.
Meetups:
Our meetups provide an exciting opportunity for photographers to expand their portfolios through practical experience, differing from our workshops by focusing primarily on shooting rather than instruction. These events are structured to maximize your camera time: each photographer will have multiple rounds of focused shooting with the model. We ensure a dynamic shooting environment by featuring several scene setups and outfit changes, all designed to offer a rich variety of photographic opportunities in a single session. This is your chance to capture outstanding images in a collaborative, professionally arranged setting.

Who am I? Why should you listen to me at all?
Hey there, I’m Wes Young!
Photography and filmmaking have been my playgrounds since I was a teen. It all started with helping out with local TV commercial shoots, which was pretty cool and taught me a lot right from the get-go. After that, I dabbled in some freelance photography gigs and eventually got into making my own short films.
I did a stint as a professional grip and a gaffer where I honed my skills on set. In these roles, I mastered the craft of lighting—sculpting light to not just illuminate, but to tell stories.
I’ve also been behind the camera as a cinematographer for various movie projects. You might even find my name on IMDb if you’re curious!
I spent 5 years down in L.A. teaching people about cameras as a trainer at Sony and at Bel-Air Camera, one of the most storied camera shops in the U.S. (sadly closed in 2015). All these chapters in my career have given me a pretty unique set of skills that I love sharing with others who are as excited about photography as I am.
These days, I’m all about bringing that movie magic into photography. That is the goal of my workshops. I believe every photo can feel as epic as a movie scene. If that sounds like something you’re into, I’d love to help you level up your photography game.
Let’s make some awesome images together!
