The Instructors

Master of Photography & Photographic Craftsman (PPA)
Past President Professional Photographers of America (PPA)

Bert Behnke is a highly regarded photographer known for his
lifestyle approach to portraiture. Skilled in all aspects of “people” photography,
Bert will show how creating the great shot takes not only great natural
surroundings, but the ability to manipulate the shot.
Additive and subtractive lighting, outdoors flash-fill lighting,
and multiple light sources can turn the shot from good to great!
 
Bert will teach you to look for the angles, the background and the light,
then make them work together. He will show how to manipulate both
during the shoot and in post-production. Then, most importantly, he will
cover the importance of the personal relationship with the subject.
His ability to make his subjects relax is critical in his work.
Once you overcome that awkward initial meeting, the interaction between
photographer and model become a large part of the shoot, and a
necessity to get the great shots.
 
One of Bert’s favorite places to do photography is at the beach.
The ever-changing light, the breezes that create motion and the
feeling of freedom for both photographer and model make for a
great location to shoot. The additional locations we go to, will
demonstrate how being able to analyze any situation and then implement
it into your photography creates an experience that will get your creativity flowing.
 
In addition to the actual photo sessions, Bert plans to hold discussions on equipment,
 investigate Photoshop techniques, plug-in filters, and maybe create some image presentations.
He will discuss whatever the attendees want, business, marketing, printing, basics,
and just about anything he has learned in his 30 years in the business.
 
To see the type of photography Bert will be teaching, see the images
from the shootout he organized with Edge Agency models.
He coordinated the shootout that featured almost 70 photographers,
eleven models and one location with various background opportunities.
The images are a representation of all of the participating instructors and
students. Go to www.behnkephoto.com, click Online Viewing and when
