(Our last workshop of the year is in Durham this September, and there are only a few spots left). Our 3-day portrait photographers workshop is coming up very, very soon, and we will need about six more models to round out all the shooting clinics we will have over the course of our workshop! We have been quite lucky to have a wonderful variety of lovely, fun models in previous workshops. Here’ a peek from just some of our models during our recent 3-day workshop in Durham, North Carolina: – we photographed indoors, on location, utilizing natural light, additive light, doing tiny-group shoots with separate models, shooting fast-action, photographing with rough backgrounds and considering additional elements when photographing families. All shot with either the Nikon D4 or D800 and a variety of lenses. And there are quite a lot of other lovely photographs from workshop participants! Check out: Karen Kelly’s blog – she wrote a beautiful post about courage and photography (and the workshop) that I just love – and shares her own high-energy images. I sincerely believe that we are our own biggest barriers, so I just love her realizations and motivation on where she goes from here. It’s definitely worth a read. There’s also Cindy Short’s impactful blog post. After spending half a year in treatment for cancer, she is quite clear on what means the most to her. You can see her review of the workshop and her beautiful images of the models here. You can also see more very fun model images from Iman Woods, who was as much in need of staying open creatively – and managing burnout – as she was of the particulars offered in the workshop. Check out her soulful post and playful behind-the-scenes shots here. And Katy Johnson, who knew she wanted to get her business to the next level and realized she had been overwhelmed by all the pieces involved in making a business out of the passion of photography, shares how she saw to put it all together – and shows off so much of the personality of the kids we photographed in this post here. So! If you’re interested in responding to our open call for models for this London workshop, please contact Sarah, our Studio Manager, here. And if you’re interested in joining the workshop as a participant, we still have a couple spots left! You can register here. Lastly, a bit of a warning – as much fun as the models have during our shoots, I must confess they also can get a bit tuckered out. So, y’know, just don’t say we didn’t mention that part ; )
