"I really enjoyed attending Rafal Wegiel's Creative Headshot class in Dallas!  Rafal is an excellent teacher who explains in-depth the equipment used, posing, lighting setup, as well as, his technique for post-production retouching technique.  He offers help individually if needed.  Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and look forward to creating some beautiful creative images for my portfolio, as well as, my clients!”

"As a beginner photographer, I didn't know what to expect from Rafal's Headshot Photography Workshop and was extremely nervous about attending it. I was second-guessing myself, unsure whether or not I should even go as someone who is just starting out and needs help with basically every little thing. Rafal assured me that there is nothing to be afraid of and that the workshop can benefit a photographer of any level, from someone like me to a seasoned professional. That is exactly what this workshop turned out to be. I was immediately put at ease and started enjoying every second of my being there. There was no superiority, looking or talking down at me just because I have less experience than everybody else. To the opposite, all participants and Rafal himself were very welcoming, friendly and willing to help / answer every question anybody had had about the material and technique being learned. During the second-day practice photoshoot I was able to get help from multiple people, got to borrow other participants' photo gear that I didn't have, was able to show some of my photos to Rafal and to David, the owner of the hosting photo studio. I got some pretty amazing images out of this photoshoot despite my using a pretty basic camera with my own basic lens and then switching to a zoom lens that someone else had brough with them. I am very excited about putting together my photo studio and startting to learn / work / experiment with the technique learned from Rafal during the workshop. I now realize that attending the workshop was the best decision I could have made. I feel that I was able to get out of it much more than I expected, and I am grateful to Rafal for affording every one of us, attendees, this opportunity.”

"My attendance to the workshop  “Beyond the Art of theHeadshot” in Dallas was rewarding and the new skills mastered  will undoubtedly repay the expense with new business as I market a new style of headshot products.  Rafal’s explanations were both instructional and inspirational. The planed photo shoot gave us an opportunity to practice with multiple backgrounds, lighting setups, and model. In my case I was able to use my own lighting and background system.”

"I had the pleasure of participating in the Dallas Headshot Workshop lead by Rafal Weigiel. The workshop was complete with personal tutoring, group education, resources, and many extras. This workshop was worth every cent!"

"My wife and I have been following Rafal for months now.  Watching his YouTube videos and reading every post in his Mentorship Facebook page.  We really wanted to go to his Houston workshop but timing was not in our favor. Then Rafal asked “Where should we schedule our next workshops?” on the page and we jumped at the opportunity. We offered up our studio just north of Dallas to see if he’d get enough interest for the workshop to make.  Rafal immediately started advertising the workshop on his page.  To help push it along we started putting it out in our local photography groups.  We were able to get the two biggest camera stores in Dallas to repost the ad.  Rafal was able to sign up nine students for the workshop.  Now of course Rafal could not do ALL the preparation for the workshop from Canada.  We as hosts gathered information on local hotels restaurants that were open on Saturday and Sunday to pass to the other students.  We also were responsible for obtaining models for both days.  Rafal let us know all the details to pass to the models so they were prepared.  In our case we didn’t use “model” models we used former Senior clients.  I think this actually helped so that the other photographers were working with real people that didn’t know what was expected in front of the camera.  Honestly how many of you are going to start out shooting models as your clients?  In the case of our workshop all photographers had the opportunity to shoot on multiple backgrounds and had four different models.  When you come to a workshop it’s great to get the masterful instruction but we all need hands-on to get the full understanding.  Rafal’s workshops are just that a day of instruction and demonstration of how to take pictures just like he does and a full morning of hands-on. Rafal checked on every photographer to make sure they were “getting it”.  If something was off either camera or lighting he’s show them how to fix it. To end the workshop Rafal went through his retouching process. He didn’t hold anything back.  I don’t believe any participant left the studio thinking they hadn’t been fully taught. Rafal offered to field any questions that came up after the workshop and to offer advice when someone needed it.  We now feel we have a new set of tools to diversify what our studio offers.  We know you’ll feel the same.  If you have any questions for us please contact us at david@davidhamrickphotography.com"
