COURSE SYNOPSIS:  

The Beyond Ambient Light Workshop series is headed to the Center for Dental Artistry, Ridgefield, Washington State on July 31 to August 2, 2025 plus an amazing full third day of practical and amazing intraoral photography. 

This is an INTIMATE and IMMERSIVE 3-day lighting workshop focusing on how to balance ambient and artificial light for both indoor and outdoor scenarios to create timeless images of your patient’s aesthetic cases.

This workshop will give you the opportunity to set up, light and photograph the model/patient so that you can create images you can call your own. It is designed to help you learn how to control ambient light and master off camera lights as simple as possible.

Included with this event is a full “BONUS” third day that goes over simple and bulletproof techniques to create amazing intraoral photos of your own patients for marketing or clinical documentation!

After this workshop, you will come away with how to capture portrait images of authentic smiles that you can be proud of!

This is a beginning course and very easy to follow!

At this workshop, we will cover how you can set yourself apart from other “family and cosmetic dentists’ through the use of portrait/glamour photography. Make sure you bring your camera and memory cards so you can participate. Also if you want a current head-shot image, make sure you dress appropriately so you can come away with a glamour photo of your own to use for your marketing. We will have participants pose as well as take pictures of each other so you can experience both sides of the camera. 

In the second part of this 3 day course Dr. David Chan will have the participants take part in a live hands-on demonstration the very simple techniques to take quick and amazing intraoral photography.

Classes are limited in size so everyone can leave feeling competent that they can set up a studio at their office. Also the smaller number of participants will allow everyone to be constantly active and shooting different models to practice this amazing new skill!

Testimonials:

• You are truly "an educator". You made this workshop all about US.... the attendees and not about you. If I had your skills and accomplishments, I would have had a giant head :-)

             Therefore, it was also a great lesson/ workshop in humility. 

             I wish to emulate it. 

             I'm leaving here, very inspired by your kindness and generosity.

             Now I need to make sure I practice and practice and practice!

             Very sincerely, with my warmest regards,

• “Hands-on courses do not get better than this! Small class sizes combined with step-by-step mentoring ensure that you take your  skills to new heights in a matter of days, thank you Dr. Chan!” -E. Wong, Ontario, Canada  “

•  Dr. Chan's course was exactly what I needed at this point in my career! His didactic and one on one hands on teaching style guided me during the two day course and at the end of it I felt I had the tools and guidance needed to start doing these in the office the next day! Dr. Chan is extremely generous in the advice that he gives, never holding anything back and showing you exactly how you can replicate his stunning results. Furthermore both Dr. Chan and his lovely wife are so kind and welcoming; it was truly a great atmosphere to learn. I would highly recommend his course to others looking to excel!

              Thank you!
