Chris Grey is an international award winning photographer, author of twelve physical books, five eBooks, and hundreds of articles and blog posts about photography in general and lighting in particular. He’s taught workshops and classes in Italy, England and the Mainland, and will be a guest instructor at WPPI in Las Vegas two days after this workshop concludes here in Honolulu.

It might be difficult to find an instructor with a deeper understanding of light and how to make it do what you see in your mind’s eye. Chris is an engaging personality with a wry sense of humor, and I know you’ll enjoy learning from him.
