This last weekend I had the unique opportunity to lend my assistance to a photography lighting and retouching class here in Portland. The workshop was put on by one of my favorite photographers of all time, Quavondo, and Pratik of Solstice Retouch.
I have to say, I was so impressed with these guys! I've known and worked with Quavondo for several years now; we met in the infancy of our careers. His talent knows no bounds and I'm constantly amazed at his work ethic, heart, and passion. Pratik was new to me but after a little research online and hearing some of the feedback on the workshop, I feel privileged to have worked on a project with someone of his caliber.
I believe Quavondo and Pratik are planning to take this workshop on the road so if you are a photographer looking to hone your skills and learn from the absolute best, definitely take the opportunity to contact them for more information. Based on the praise and feedback I've heard for the Portland workshop, you won't be sorry.
Here are a couple grabs from Quavondo's blog.
