John has spent 35 years producing images for corporations such as Chase, Citibank, Viacom, Paramont, RJR Nabisco, Hawaiian Tropic, Cunard, Hyatt and Marriott. His work in sports includes being the official photographer for the New York Yankees, director of photography for the Avon and Virginia Slim's women's tennis championships, as well as corporate sponsors' photographer for the Jets, Giants, Islanders, Rangers, New York Marathon and others. John has been the corporate sponsors' photographer for the United States Tennis Open for nearly three decades. In the world of music he has had opportunities to work with the Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Bon Jovi, Billy Idol and Billy Joel. Mr. Woodward is currently the photographer for the League of American Theater Owners and Producers. He has also photographed Heads of State, the Pope, the Dalai Lama, numerous Presidents and a First Lady or two.

John now has 20 years of experience in teaching the "pros" what they were supposed to know already.

Beyond examining the breadth and depth of lighting, John will examine and demonstrate such things as format and lens selection, location scouting, facial analysis and alternative studio setups. You'll gain a complete understanding of such things as "Sunny 16," "black factor," proper exposure determination as well as the advantage of eliminating variables. He feels that once you have a complete understanding of these concepts, you'll be able to concentrate more fully on the aesthetics of your imaging.
