Senior Photography Workshop Friday-Saturday, April 17-18


Welcome to the 2015 Edition of Fuller Royal’s Senior Workshop. Whether you have a senior program in place or are just starting out, Fuller’s class will prove invaluable to your studio. Fuller calls his senior portrait program Extreme Seniors, complete with a redesigned senior ambassador program that takes great advantage of Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook and other unique ways to attract high school seniors. Fuller will show how he markets, photographs, sells and creates products for high school seniors. The bulk of his annual studio income comes from the high school seniors he photographs throughout the year. If you are looking to make seniors your niche or just to increase your numbers, this seminar is for you. He’ll share with you his exciting new promotional materials and referral systems that have produced great changes for his studio (seniors and otherwise.) Fuller will demonstrate how he operates his ambassador program, which has successfully brought in seniors for him from across Southeastern North Carolina and Northeastern South Carolina. The Senior weekend begins at 10 a.m on Friday, April 17, when Fuller shares his marketing plans as well as an overview of how he manages his senior program.

Outside, he’ll demonstrate how to make use of existing buildings and landscaping around the studio, going on location to area gardens and homes for more exterior work. On Friday evening, Fuller will take the class to nearby Lake Waccamaw for fresh seafood. First thing Saturday morning, you will set up your computer (desktop or laptop) for a day full of digital creation using QuickMats, Painter and, of course, Photoshop. Fuller will show you how

to quickly drop in new backgrounds and back-groundblends without the need for green screen. He’ll demonstrate incredible Photoshop plug-ins such as Nik’s Color Efex, Silver Efex, Analog, Viveza and more. He will demostrate Topaz’ Adjust, Define, Remask, ReStyle and Simplify. You will see Alien Skin’s Boken, Exposure and Snap Art in action. He will also show you how to correcty and conservatively use Anthropics’ PortraitPro.

These are plug-ins that will change the look of your images forever, adding new layers of excitement. He introduce you to things you didn’t know Photoshop could do.

Fuller has spoken six times at the Professional Photographers of North Carolina Conventions. He has spoken at guild meetings 10 times. Having attended East Coast School for 11 years – two years as a class assistant – he taught at the school in 2008 and 2014. He is the 2011 recipient of PPNC’s State Service Award. Fuller is in Whiteville, about 40 minutes due west of Wilmington on U.S. 74 and 25 minutes due east of I-95, also on U.S. 74. The two-day session, including class materials, promotional materials, DVD of poses and slide shows costs $200 for photographers.ttt
