This workshop is limited seating and open to all inclusive members first. Regular member seating will be open at a later date. 

Hands on workshop with Dan McClanahan

Dan will guide you through a hands-on demo of how he constructs his favorite studio lighting formulas. You will get some opportunities to shoot if you want, bring a camera! A mid-range zoom like a 28-70mm will be best lens choice.

As the day progresses, we’ll grow in complexity and get into gels / atmosphere / filters. During this day, Dan will be an open book so bring your questions and don’t be afraid to ask them!

Bio

Dan McClanahan is a photographer in love with the thrill of crafting images! His HQ is Ames, IA but he travels wherever the work takes him – often in this orange Honda. Dan is obsessed with light and its power as a communication tool. He’s also a sucker for a good velvet jacket. He revels in the craftsmanship required to bring a client’s vision to life and is perpetually honing new techniques for better storytelling. A perfect day for Dan involves good espresso, playing drums, and engaging in imaginative play with his kids. Preferably in the woods.
