Director’s Message
There is a lot of
competition for students these days among the proliferation of week-long
schools. At Triangle
Institute we offer years and years of experience, a bright and clean
venue with meals included in the tuition and internationally known
instructors. All of my staff members have used the knowledge gained as
Triangle students to create their own successful businesses.
We value your time and money and promise to provide you with a
comfortable and fun week of learning.

Rich and Esther Beitzel “Basic
Portraiture -- It’s That and More!”
Learning the correct
techniques of posing and lighting will empower you to handle any
situation (except maybe 2-year-olds.) I
always see a lot of activity going on in Rich’s class and some days it
even spills out into the lobby. Personally, I’d call the class “Portrait
Boot Camp”, but that sounds a bit scary.
Jennifer Hudson and Arthur Levi Rainville
Jen=WPPI Photographer of the Year
“Art and Heart – The Creative Journey -- New Age Artistry meets
I met Art back in the 90’s, when he first started on the speaking
circuit. His program was different than anything I’d seen – more like
performance art (no pun intended) – and it looks even more entertaining
today. This is a class that
should appeal to you creative thinking types, who don’t like a lot of
structure. Likewise, if you feel
your work is stale and want to be coerced into trying something new –
take this class.

Suzette Allen and Jon Yoshinaga
“Photoshop for Fun and Profit”
Intermediate-Advanced Level
High ratings and a class that even impressed Mark Campbell made asking Suzette and Jon back for another year a no-brainer. Why travel to see Suzette when she will be right here in the ‘burgh? They packed their classroom full in 2009, and will no doubt do the same in 2010.
Tim Kelly
“Success in the Fine Art Portrait Studio 2010”
First of all, this is a
SPECIAL and RARE opportunity, as Tim is doing very few schools, and
won't likely be back anytime soon.
I attended one of Tim’s in-house weeklong classes just a few
years ago – his studio was packed to capacity and the sharing never
stopped. You won’t find a
more respected artist or teacher anywhere.

Helen Yancy
“Painter”
Past Institute students have had the opportunity to study Painter with Jeremy
Sutton.
You students may enjoy
using Jeremy’s approach for your personal work or maybe for competition
images, but perhaps not so much for your client work. Helen will be
exploring a different approach to the Painter technique - a more
classical style that may be of interest to your current client base.

Jen Hillenga “Miracles
in the Moments” New School Advanced Portraiture
We had Jen here a couple
years ago and she was extremely popular. Her work is very fresh and she
has received a lot of national acclaim as a teacher. She moves quickly
and her work is very emotional.
If you would like to turbo-charge your shooting style, this class
would be a good start.
Mike Fulton and Cody Clinton (
“Cutting Edge Lighting Techniques for Weddings and More”
(Wireless
flash tips and tricks)
These guys are tearing it
up on the national circuit. If you are one of those photographers who
have some decent flash equipment, but are uncomfortable or unhappy with
mixing light sources, take this class!
Their style is very
dramatic as a result of their off-camera flash techniques.
Briggs and Gray “Basic to
Intermediate Photoshop”
If you are struggling to
keep up with the latest version of Photoshop, or just struggling in
general, you need to spend a week with Glen and Evert.
This class is for “newbies,” but will also provide a good review
for experienced ‘shoppers.
Don Emmerich “I Want It All”
Intermediate
Portraiture/Studio Operations
Don will be going through
the gamut of studio operations during his week at Triangle. Many of you
know Don from his Photoshop expertise, and now he is ready to share all
his wisdom in all the areas of his business.
This would be an excellent
class to follow the Basic Course with, as well as a good class for those
making the transition from candid to studio shooter.
