Last week we conducted a photography workshop where participants worked on improving their ability to locate good light in crappy situations.  So, just past high noon we moved out into the harsh sunlight of an open field with some nearby trees and horse stables.  This is a bit of what came from that day.

This past weekend a few local photographers joined me for a little shooting time in the studio.   And because photographers for the most part are not good subjects, joining us on the other side of the camera was the very lovely Kaley Monteleone, with some special facial artwork by makeup artist Emily Johnson.  Enjoy!

While at WPPI convention last week in Las Vegas we had the opportunity to do a little night shooting with Alicia at Shoot with Beckstead.  An accomplished photographer herself, Alicia decided to try the other side of the lens.  We think she has a gift for that side of the lens as well.

Ok, so we were checking out a venue for an upcoming workshop on location lighting with small flash.  Helping us out was Jennifer and her husband Brandon.  Had a great time and scored a few fun images to boot.

This past weekend we hosted a workshop for a group of photographers.  They each brought in images for critique of lighting and composition.  The images ran the gamut from still life to capturing people in motion.  So after exchanging opinions on what everyone liked and/or thought could be improved, they all pulled out their weapon of choice (that would be a camera and lens) and practiced what they had just learned with our gorgeous model, Kristianna.  When it was all over I had a chance to grab a few images of my own.  Had a ton of fun…looking forward to doing another workshop soon.
