How to Wow

As we commence the course Jerry Ghionis asks us to define what it means to "WOW" with your photography. He gives us his recipe for creating photos that will blow away your audience, be they clients, friends or family, before giving a thorough break-down of lighting techniques to enhance your "wow" factor for either male or female subjects.

In the first live demonstration of the course, Jerry completely breaks down his approach to posing, providing invaluable guidance throughout for how to communicate with your subjects.

Jerry takes us through his archives showing both good and bad examples of posing and lighting, giving tips and techniques for flattering subjects of all types.

In a typical Wedding Reception style setup, Jerry shows how to get great results every time just using on-camera flash. He then moves on to working with a light meter and shooting in available light, before finishing with a series of examples shooting with the versatile "Ice Light".

In this module Jerry continues to shoot in a range of scenarios, showing a variety of tips and tricks to get amazing and dynamic portraits.

In this module Jerry encourages us to have more fun when shooting, showing us a range of highlights from his portfolio and archives, and showing how he broke the conventional rules to get amazing results.

In the final module of "How to Wow", Jerry gives a masterclass on how to evoke emotion through photography including intimate portraits from his own wedding day.
