Come and Shoot with **PERMISSION** at the most iconic abandoned amusement park in the world before demolition is completed. Six Flags New Orleans (Jazzland( has been closed for 20 years after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. It's currently in the process of demolition after sitting abandoned for 2 decades. And YOU have the opportunity to shoot here with models before it's gone FOREVER.

As the official archival photographer for the park and E. Ross Studios Jazzland for 2 years, Jason has done countless model shoots at the park, and now he wants to provide YOU the opportunity to do the same before the demolition process is complete. And being able to shoot the park in the midst of it's demolition only adds to he dystopian mystique of the location and your shots! This Masterclass is being done in conjunction with the E. Ross Studios School of Film and Television.

Objective: The purpose of this hands-on, interactive, portfolio building workshop is to help you gain more comfort, practice, and confidence posing, lighting, and composing your images. Join Jason at Six Flags and let him show you how to make your own unforgettable imagery.

Since November 2024 Jason has done landscape photography workshops at the park. Now he is conducting **MODEL** photography workshops complete with instruction on **flash** and **LED** photography as well as how to incorporate the golden hour for optimal results.

Meeting times: In order to adequately cover Flash and LED instructional courses we stagger the start and ends times of each day. Please see the start times listed below.

Jason’s down to earth, straightforward, and kind approach to teaching photography has helped thousands of photographers improve their photography skills. He believes in providing a real learning environment for his attendees. Jason welcomes all questions, all skill levels, and all gear.

You may use the images for your website and social media purposes.

Jason will not only demonstrate the techniques to create amazing imagery, but will be there to help you do the same.

Lighting is the key skill that differentiates you from everybody else. Jason’s workshop explicitly helps people master their lighting with natural light, off camera flash, LED lighting, diffusers, reflectors and more.

Composition - Are you tired of chopping off hands? Do you have trouble with horizons? Stop making excuses to crop in-post and start making conscientious and artistic decisions that will save you time and tears behind your computer keyboard! At this workshop, you’ll learn how Jason methodically builds his compositions with an effort to get as much right in-camera, as he can.

Posing- Have you ever asked yourself, “Where do I start?” Do you ever run out of ideas and get stuck? Well, stop guessing and start knowing. At this workshop, Jason teaches the art of posing. Whether your subject is standing, sitting, or lying down, Jason’s fool-proof recipe to posing ensures you’ll get great shots.

Jason will give 1:1 critiques. Please select 10 photos for Jason to review. Reviews can occur on a cellphone or tablet. During the 1:1 critique you will have allotted 1:1 time with Jason to ask questions, review images, and seek advice for improvement. When you are finished with or are waiting for your critique you will have opportunity to free shoot the models. This will be a portfolio building shoot opportunity.
