Koci-Hernandez is a San Francisco State University journalism graduate,
class of 1993.
Richard's popular blog MultimediaShooter is full of tips and insights into the world of digital storytelling.
Richard
will be teaching the Multi-Media Workshop (or How to Become a
Multi-Media Ninja). He will take a fun, light-hearted and at
times, serious approach to teaching multi-media skills. Everything you
need to know about how to start, maintain and grow multimedia at your
newspaper. He'll cover audio, video, flash and more. Beginners will
come away with tools to help them get started fast. Intermediate
students will find some inspiration on how to take their work to the
next level and hopefully those with master multimedia skills will walk
away with one new idea.

LOCATION
LIGHTING Joey Terrill/ Joey Terrill Photography
Joey
Terrill began his photography career as a photojournalist with the Los
Angeles Times. After leaving journalism, his advertising
and corporate clients have included Coca-Cola, American Express,
Chevron, Volkswagen, Mattel, Qualcomm and Toshiba. Returning to
editorial work in 2000, his images have been published in Time, Sports
Illustrated, Golf Digest, ESPN, Rolling Stone, Forbes, the Wall Street
Journal and People.
Though not strictly a technician, Terrill does value the tools of
photography. “I love having the technical ability to
produce several responses to a subject. Sometimes the shot needs
a dozen lights, or a special camera or lens. Having a strong technical
background is similar to a painter having a broad palette of colors.
You don’t have to use them all at once, but it’s nice
to know they’re there if you need them."
He also values the educational aspect of shooting pictures:"Photography
is the only profession I can think of where you are in a constantly
changing environment. One day you're in a facility where they build jet
engines. The next day you see institutional investors trading
millions of dollars every hour. Who else gets to see things like
that?"
