Almost there...

If you are like me....I'm still getting back on track after a fabulous holiday weekend. So because I was extremely busy last Friday and then was pretty into QT with the family, I am just getting to collecting all the photos for my lil' challenge. A few of my workshop participants are still working on a few more things as they prepare to submit their photos for my lil' competition. As soon as I get the last photos the challenge will begin and I will give further instructions. For now though, heres a teaser:)...I can't wait to see all the photos submitted!

Workshop Highlights


I'm still on cloud nine from this workshop! I had such a good time that I can't wait for my next one. I thought since everyone was able to capture some great candid moments, I'd share them in preparation for the start of tomorrows competition...so here are a few highlights and outtakes of the day....thanks everyone for your pix's! Considering that everyone was from the South Pacific, you know we had a good time:)...and I really felt so comfortable because I knew almost everyone there..now thats wussup! It was so fun to work with our models....they would pose and then burst into laughter as some poses were a lil' too close for comfort. We were able to catch some real emotions that day! I don't know how you do it, but the pictures turned out stunningly haute! It was like magic as Adriu, Sailau, Eden, and CJ worked our cameras...I can't wait to post the pictures submitted by my first workshop participants tomorrow. Once again thank you, thank you for making my first workshop a success!

SUCCESS!

Photobucket

I have to thank each of my workshop participants, models, and hair/makeup stylist for making today possible. Thank you Monalisa, Kristina, Myrna, Lola, Ronnie, Luisa, CJ, Eden, Adriu, Sailau, and Denise for making my first workshop a success! I hope everyone gained what they expected to learn and all I can say is that you all rocked it out hardcore....I loved seeing you all in action, and especially when you were able to take the initiative with our models directing....that was like the cherry on top for me:) CJ, Eden, Sailau, and Adriu-the chemistry, your personalities, and urban style brought it all together=producing nothing but perfection. Denise Lyons, loved the edgey and dramatic hair and makeup. The pictures turned out hecka tight and I couldn't resist posting just this one for now.

So instead of giving Lightroom and Photoshop CS4 away easily, I put my participants to a lil' challenge. As they learned different techniques of composition their homework was to implement those skillz with the images they produce. So please ya'll, pick one picture that you would like to submit and let me know by Friday July 3rd, 2009. I will then allow a week for voting, and whoever has the most votes will win. 1st prize winner will get PS CS4, and 2nd will receive Lightroom. I also will have something for our 3rd prize winner. So Myrn, Mona, Kris, Lola, Ronnie, and Luisa please filter through all your fabulous pictures and get back at me by this Friday.

Good luck and thanks again for everything!

Haute off the Press - WORKSHOP

Photobucket


WORKSHOP - TUESDAY JUNE 30TH from 3-10pm

So here is the scoop for my first workshop: I've received quite a bit of mail from individuals who are wanting to shadow and learn about my photography. I wanted to help but found it so difficult to find quality time to really walk others through my work....I'm talking more than just shadowing because there is just so much to take in about photography. Ideally, I want to make sure that those who I train can walk away from my experience, putting their knowledge into action IMMEDIATELY and feel that they can leverage their photography work whether hobbyist or professional with the tips and tricks I will share. So I've been pondering about putting on a workshop but wasn't sure quite when, and then it hit me.......I found the perfect opportunity that would help build anyones portfolio..So a few weeks ago, I was contacted by a stylist in California to help with a project that will feature a new clothesline from LA. My job was to get the models, send pictures of the models to the stylist so she can know how to dress them (clothes, shoes, accessories, etc.), and be the photographer for the project. So I began on my hunt to find models and as I started to secure them for the shoot specifically for the pix that needs to be sent to LA......I thought why not invite those who have been asking about my photography to join me for this shoot. And so here it is...my first workshop and I am so excited about it because not only are the models hot, but this workshop will be so worthwhile as we walk through the following things:

- Foundations and Essentials of lighting, composition, and photography. You will be introduced to the skills of shooting in manual mode including exposure balance, aperature control, and shutter speed settings. This workshop will include hands on experience, so please bring your camera.

- Learn about the importance of communication, posing, and how to elicit emotion when capturing candid shots.

- Learn how to choose your style of photography and the importance of your signature brand if you are planning to go professional. Even if you are not a professional, this training will help you to take fabulous photos and make a huge difference in your point and shoot moments. I have chosen a more urban style with my most recent work and will be using this style for this shoot. Learn how to choose unique urban locations, find perfect light, rich textures, and how to capture timeless images.

- Learn about my post production and how important balance is to your workflow. Learn about valuing your work, and how Photoshop, Lightroom, and other cool tools can help you get a jump start with your photography.

- Plan on working in groups with models, as well as watching me photograph live.

- I will provide models, and will be coaching participants as they apply techniques and essentials covered.

- I will have some light refreshments during the workshop. Also, at the end of the shoot, I will also provide dinner for those wanting to talk more and answer any questions participants may have.

Don't miss out on this! I promise it will be well worth you time and you will leave my workshop with tools to further your photos or career in photography. I will also have handouts and everything we discuss in a pretty folder just for you so you won't have to take notes and can ask away with your questions during out time together.

The workshop fee is $100 per person. I am only taking 10 participants and in order for your seat to be reserved, you will need pay using the "pay now" button below.
