  5. Maybe I should wait to comment on this since the random picker will for sure not pick #1 comment but I would love to get more info on photographing newborns. I think it is such a sweet and special time to photograph. I would also like to see a tutorial on photographing big groups like for family reunions and how to get the faces to really stand out in a group of 20 or more. cassi@byu.edu

    ReplyDelete
  6. Oh that sounds like a perfect workshop. For the future I'd love to see advice on editing group shots - when there are four or more people in the photo noone is really big enough to spend hours making their eyes pop and skin perfect.

  7. As an extremely new, but VERY enthusiastic "photographer" of mostly my children, I would love some tutorials on achieving natural posed images of children and the processing of them to look amazing. Thanks!

  8. What a wonderful giveaway. A couple of my boys have quite olive skin tones and I find photographing and editing them sometimes difficult as opposed to the two fairer skined boys, so I guess what I would like to see is a tutorial on editing this type of skin tone, giving them a brightness without lightening if that makes sense.
    Cheers,

  9. Awesome! It's funny that you've asked us to name a future tutorial we would love to see on CoffeeShop in order to win this workshop; had you asked me yesterday, I'd have said a newborn photography tutorial! My friends and family members are giving birth left and right these days and the hubby and I are childless so I have to get my baby dose through photos of other people's little ones :) If I have to pick a *different* tutorial other than newborn photography, I choose a tutorial on the top 5-10 post-processing edits most photos could use :)

    ReplyDelete
  10. Great giveaway!! More baby posing tutorials and/or family posing tutorials would be great!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Do I comment here? :) I will taking my very first photoshoot with a newborn this Saturday. I don't really have an idea how to go about doing that (although I have been taking pictures for years!). I would love to win this!

    Hmm...about a future tutorial...maybe how to help clients warm up to you? I need to learn that. :)

    ReplyDelete
  12. I love baby photos and always wondered how you did it. Thanks so much for all of your insight and tutorials.

  13. This would be so cool! I always learn so many great new things here...things I never even thought I'd need to know! Maybe some lessons on dressing families for family portraits - what works well, what doesn't that kind of thing....amandadotkruegeratgmaildotcom

    ReplyDelete
  14. I would like to see a tutuorial on using textures.

  15. This is wonderful! I've always wanted to go to a workshop but can't because I am a sahm with 2 boys under 3yrs. I love all the tutorials on CoffeeShop and would enjoy hearing more about softening the harsh lines of the face in a closeup portrait. Thank you! karriedrake@yahoo.com

    ReplyDelete
  16. Oh my goodness what a fantastic giveaway! I am starting out with my photography business and have already photographed a few newborns and let me tell you, it was hard! I would absolutely LOVE to take this workshop. I know I would be putting it to good use.

    As far as what tutorials I would like to see, it would be great to learn more about using the magic wand, the magnetic lasso tool, etc. I am never sure when to use which and what is the best way to extract someone or something from a photograph.

  23. I absolutely LOVE this blog and Morgans too. As for a tutorial I would like to see in the future, I am not sure, as I am still pretty new to photography and photoshop. Maybe something to do with basic edits for people and animals? I love the actions but I love the "unwrapped" tutorials even more because I get to do it and learn from it ;) Thank you both for all the time and effort you put in to sharing all these tutorials!

  24. Uh oh. I'm number 1. And probably not gonna win this baby...but I would like to possibly see a tutorial for using gimp. It is open source photoshop. I'm still learning to maneuver through it and would love to figure out how to use actions in the program.

    Thanks for the awesome giveaway :)

  63. My cousin has requested me to shoot her newborn and I really have no clue how to go about it. The tutorial would hopefully give me some added confidence.

    Also, I'd like to see a few tutorials on natural lighting. What to look for, what to avoid, and how to work with it. I also would like a tutorial on off board flash lighting for dummies. I bought a video in hopes of learning how to do it but it was way too technical. I honestly haven't been able to make it through without falling asleep. Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Wow! What a great give-away. Thanks! I'd love a lighting tutorial. I've been thinking about purchasing a lighting kit to create my own studio lighting, but am wondering if I can get away with using some desk lamps and other lights I have laying around the house to save some money. Either way, I need to know about positioning them, etc. Thanks!! cedishman@gmail.com

  132. via my blog:

    I am here from a link at Coffee Shop and I hope I'm in the right place to enter for a chance to win this workshop. I would like to see a workshop for PSE. When we use the layer masks and some says to duplicate the layer, do we need to merge the 'photo' layer with the 'mask' layer? I guess the work shop would be how to work with the layers, how the flow of our work should go, etc.

    Thank you for this change to win!

  192. This class would be so much fun since I've been working with a lot of newborns in the last few weeks. I feel like I am really missing out on some pertinent information on posing them and would love to get my creative juices flowing and also, so it doesn't seem like I am doing the same poses from one newborn to another! I would love to win this class.
    The tutorial or workshop I'd like to see the most, is finding the color or saturating the pictures with deep rich colors. I've been trying to find out how to do that (My way just doesn't quite seem to be IT) and with the tuts I have looked at, I follow the directions, but there must be something I am missing.
    I need a tut with step by step examples. :o) I need to see as well as hear.
