A 1-Day Photography Class for Ages 16+
The workshop will focus on what is possible with one light, a flash, on and off-camera. This will be a hands on, in the field, multiple scenario, intensive crash course in what you can do with “one light.”
DSLR or comparable mirrorless system with a hotshoe adapter required. We will show you how to get that flash off-camera, and what we can do with light.
If you are new to flash photography, or an experienced pro, or have just been intimidated by guide numbers, and the inverse square law, we can offer some insight to the possibilities of one light photography.
Class is taught by one of CEPA’s veteran instructors, Stephen Gabris. Stephen is the ASMPWNY chapter president, an editorial photographer for Buffalo Spree Magazine, and a portrait photographer among other things.

Meet the Teaching Artist
My name is Piotr (Peter) Meszynski. For the last 35 years, photography has been my calling, my passion, and the thing that will undoubtedly drive me insane someday. I don’t photograph subjects. I photograph the way they make me feel. Admittedly, it’s a bit of a strange concept. But it’s honest – and it’s the best way to describe my approach to the craft. I wrestle with every image I shoot. I assume perfection is possible and I want to wring it out of every picture.
I am fortunate to be able to spend a good amount of time on personal projects, traveling and collaborating with a team of great people. If that’s all you ever know about me, it’s enough to say you know me very, very well.

Pinhole Photography
$60.00 – $80.00A 1-Day Workshop
April 29th, 2023
11:00am–3:00pm
All agesA 1-Day Photography Class for All Ages
For thousands of years the phenomena of the camera obscura, French for “darkened room” has been known – that light passing through a tiny aperture (or pinhole) into a darkened space will reflect an image of the outside world. This is the central principal on which all photography is built. Camera-like devices employed pinholes long before the advent of photography or even lenses. Today, making photographs using only a pinhole is a refreshing change from conventional photography, allowing those who practice it to experiment with the earliest forms of photographic image making.
In this one-day workshop, students will learn the principles of pinhole photography by creating their own working pinhole cameras from ordinary household items (oatmeal canisters, Pringles cans, cigar boxes, shoeboxes, etc.) the design of which will determine the size, quality, and effect the final image will have. Students will then shoot and process their own pinhole photographs in the black and white darkroom.
