SUMMARY:FPP - Fitness Lighting - Mastering Shadows and Highlights
DESCRIPTION:Fitness Lighting – Mastering Shadows and Highlights\nJuly 23\, 2026 | 9:30AM – 5PM \nInstructor: Joe Baker \nClass Description\n\nI will demonstrate how to use off camera flash to help create scroll stopping fitness images. I will show you how to create images with 1\, 2 or 3 lights. You will learn how grids help control the light. How gels can add a unique look to your images and how different angles can make or break your images. I will show you how I build a shot light by light in a live demonstration. \nInstructor \nJoe Baker\n\nHi\, I’m Joe Baker\, a portrait photographer based in Texas. I focus on high school and college graduates\, model and fitness portfolios\, professional headshots\, and family photos. Using off‑camera flash lets me unleash my creativity and helps my images standout from the crowd. Besides taking photos\, I also run workshops\, mentor\, and educate photographers who want to elevate their craft. My goal is to help everyone be at their best whether they are in front of my camera or if I am teaching another photographer. \nRegister \nFOCUS Pre-Convention Seminar 2026

SUMMARY:TAPPA July Social @ Ricks on the River
DESCRIPTION:TAPPA Social at Rick’s on the River\nTuesday\, July 29th | 6:00 PM\nRick’s on the River\n2305 N Willow Ave\, Tampa\, FL 33607 \nJoin us for the next TAPPA Social as we gather at one of Tampa’s most legendary riverfront watering holes: Rick’s on the River. \nThis is not your quiet little tea-and-crumpets networking event. Rick’s is a true Tampa classic sitting right along the Hillsborough River\, complete with waterfront views\, cold drinks\, fresh seafood\, oysters\, live music\, boat slips\, outdoor seating\, and the kind of laid-back local character that makes a summer night feel like a proper Tampa adventure. \nArrive by car\, truck\, motorcycle\, boat\, paddleboard\, or possibly carrier pigeon\, though TAPPA makes no official guarantees regarding bird-based transportation. If you happen to arrive by vessel\, Rick’s even has a marina and wet slips\, which makes this one of the rare TAPPA events where “I came by boat” is both acceptable and mildly impressive. \nCome hang out with your fellow photographers\, videographers\, creatives\, image-makers\, gear-talkers\, story-swappers\, and occasional overthinkers of lens choice. No formal program. No speaker. No print competition. Just good people\, good conversation\, river air\, food\, drinks\, and a little bit of Tampa folklore. \nMembers\, guests\, spouses\, significant others\, photography friends\, video friends\, and well-behaved humans are welcome. Three-toed sloths remain questionable and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. \nMark your calendar\, bring your appetite\, and join us Wednesday\, July 29th at 6:00 PM at Rick’s on the River. \n2305 N Willow Ave\, Tampa\, FL 33607 – Riverfront bar and grille with a marina\, wet slips\, live music\, oysters\, and cold drinks right on the river.
