You’re Invited to “Creatives & Coffee”
Photographer Sanjay Suchak captures iconic people and moments. Now he shares his secrets.
Big news today. As promised, we officially launch our new Creatives & Coffee series, an intimately gathering that helps curious humans kickstart with their day with a creative exercise (and caffeine). It was born out of our frustration with seeing so much CONTENT online and not feeling like we carve out the time to actually DO the things that stretch our creative muscles.
Our first one on Thursday, November 21 features photographer Sanjay Suchak. And you’re invited.
Sanjay is the touring photographer for the Dave Matthews Band and he has also worked with Public Enemy, Tina Fey, Nathaniel Rateliff, and Mike Tyson. During this hands-on exercise, Sanjay will walk us through how he can take a winning portrait in five minutes (or less).
During our event, Sanjay will not only tell us how he does it, but also show us. Then attendees will use his techniques to take portraits of each other. So we will both learn and do. This exercise is ideal for photography enthusiasts (duh), but also for anyone who has to produce something under tight working conditions – short time factor, high-level stakeholders, and lots of creative pressure.
Here is a little tease of something attendees will learn. One key to a great portrait is to give the subject some control over the pose. Celebs are often told how to pose by their photographers, but Sanjay will use another tactic, especially when he needs someone to loosen up a bit. He will ask them to pose in the position they feel most comfortable posing – and the subjects will not only relax, but they also do the wildest things. Just ask him about the Secretary of State who answered this question by doing a ballerina pose.
This event will fill up quickly, so please email me if you would like to attend. We will see you there!
