“When I was starting out, I just wanted to learn everything I could from someone who was already doing it.” say’s Focht

Kevin Focht has shot covers for dozens of fashion and bridal magazines, from London Bride to Modern Bride and Oregon Bride. He has over 25 years of fashion and beauty experience, as well as running his high end portrait and wedding studio.

Focht states “I teach seminars of groups of 8-10 people and what I have found is that people get the most when I work with them one on one.”

This is a once in a lifetime experience to spend a day with a world class photographer. Kevin will not only teach you his techniques in outdoor lighting, he will also show you quick and easy ways to light portraits inside too. Kevin has a knack for finding what photographers do well, and has helped many photographers launch their careers. He is an instructor for PPSOP.com one of the webs largest photographic schools, and is well versed in teaching students of any level.

Kevin will spend the day helping you find your niche and then teach you how to market and price it. When you are done with “A Day With Focht” you will be able to get started on your own photographic career.

“After a day hanging at the studio with me, you will know what it takes to be a world class photographer and know how to do it. I remember starting out and not knowing where to go or who to talk to. I thought I would try to make it easier for the next generation.”
