Fuzzy Duenkel on Senior Lighting..... April TCPPA
2:00 PM - April 8, 2013 Hennepin Technical College in Eden Prairie
If you're looking for instruction on lighting , there are no worries about getting your money's worth. Fuzzy says his presentation will focus on varieties of lighting and, more importantly, ambient light control on location, an area where most photographers need guidance. "Every session is different, and you can't ever completely control the situation," explains Duenkel. "As professional photographers, we need to learn to master lighting in a variety of scenarios with additive, subtractive and accent lighting strategies."
Fuzzy believes lighting is an area that has gotten less attention than it deserves in recent years. "Many of today's photographic seminars focus on marketing, Adobe® Photoshop® techniques and other skills. Of course, photographers need to be skilled in those, but one of the most basic characteristics of photographic quality is the proper use of light. What is photography other than the manipulation of light?" asks Duenkel.
As passionate as he is about his craft today, Fuzzy wasn't always sold on photography as a career. "I started shooting weddings in 1975 as a fun way to make money off my hobby, but the bug didn't really bite hard until another guy in town hung out a shingle and a friendly competition started between us."
Over the course of a few years, Fuzzy parlayed that competitive streak into a unique style that had potential clients seeking him out... and that's one of the pieces of advice he gives to professional photographers just starting their career. "Pick a style of photography and specialize in it. Become known in your area for it," says Duenkel. "Decide what moves you emotionally and go become an expert in that specialty. The field of photography doesn't need more generalists. We need people who can specialize and be experts at their chosen niche."
