Fun With Rob Heyman

 

If you are a photographer and you ever get the opportunity to go to Rob's workshop - GO! I have learned so much from him in the 2 years of his workshops. The days are long and so informative, you won't find a better workshop out there (especially for the money). Everything is hands on and he likes to keep the groups to 20 or so to give you one on one time with him and see what he's doing, (you shoot right next to him and see what he sees).
His wealth of information is endless and with as many years as he has in this business, he REALLY knows all aspects of the industry. Rob doesn't use flash - not unless he absolutely has no other option but I can't recall when that was. When we were shooting these images, I'd have thought it was too dark. Rob showed me once again that I need to trust and see, not assume. He challenges you to see beyond what you know. Seriously, the best money I've ever spent was on his workshops. I am hoping to get to Australia for his workshop there - and hopefully to August Exposure if I can swing it next year (2010 ROB!!!!). :)
As an Aussie, his presence is rare here in the US, so I encourage any photographer, who work on location or in studio, to make a point to get to his workshop. He keeps company with many of the greats in the business and has won numerous accolades as well. He's a true Master of Light using a Rembrandt style to perfection. He's changed my work 10-fold and it will only get better as I continue to learn from this amazing photographer!
