See the photographs from the OC Register Photography Workshop
Photographers recently gathered over two days at Chapman University to hone their craft during the first Orange County Register Photography Workshop.
Participants heard lectures of Register staff photographers Leonard Ortiz, Mark Rightmire and Kevin Sullivan. They spoke on creative lighting for portraits, finding a personal vision and photographing peak sports action.
As part of the workshop participants accompanied staff photographers on assignments and incorporated what they had learned.
Photographers shot portraits with a model, photographed a flag football game and attended a 5K run for owners and their costumed dogs.
First place was awarded to Abhishek Vootukuru for a touching portrait. Second place went to Josh Tomsha for a photo of the interaction of a dog owner and his four dogs. And Third went to Rick Barboza for a peak action photo from the flag football game.
