Photographing People with Kenneth Linge


I spent Saturday at a seminar Photographing People Part 1 by international photographer Kenneth Linge. I've been looking for a local photographer that teaches seminars for a while now and have no regrets in taking this class


Taken from his description of the seminar:



"a fast-paced seminar style class for those looking to take their technique to the next level. It’s about lighting, perspective, color and creativity. Best of all, it’s about the thought process behind solving challenging situations."

Kenneth teaches seminars in the US and Europe. He successfully completed five European tours last year. Kenneth and his wife Marylyn taught the class of 15 students. Their class was structured in a way to teach some basic fundamentals with techniques they use and build upon them in upcoming seminars. One of the highlights for me was to participate in a live model shoot in downtown Salt Lake City. It was amazing to watch Kenneth look for the natural available light and apply it to create some amazing photographs.

It was great to be taught by someone that has been in the business for 30+ years. It's a big risk to share your secrets and techniques with others, I applaud Kenneth and Marylyn for their willingness to share and help others. I'm planning on attending part 2 and encourage others to join.
