WORKSHOP CANCELLED:Fine Art Workshop 6/28 10:00 - 1:00 PM

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

aniya-000057.jpgSince I was not able to secure at least 4 paid participants, I had to cancel this weekend workshop.   Stay tuned for next month’s planned shooting, and spread the word so we can guarantee the event.

=====================================

Glamour/Fine Art Workshop planned this month.

Update: our model for the workshop is Aniya, one of my favorite models.

Also, I’m trying to get a makeup artist for this session.

If we like their work, we need to tip in exhange for model releases.   

Attendees:  I have two confirmed so far; I need 2 more to make this work. 

 ===========

I’ll have a fine art model for 2 hours of shooting (artistic nude, glamour). We will first do a set design and lighting for the first hour, then shoot for two hours/ish.

If you are interested, please do let me know by commenting!

Online Photography Courses

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

I’ve decided to maintain a post about online photography courses; in this day and age it’s great to be able to learn more while you are comfortably able to do so, especially for those that are free of work-related bother in the evenings :-)

Vegas Seminar a Success

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

It was a huge effort to pack up my whole studio and haul it to the New York, New York casino in Las Vegas, but well worth it.  We photographed a beautiful model named Anya (a local Vegas model) and the 13 other photographers enjoyed themselves getting shots for their portfolio.  To see most of the shots by these guys, check out the Photoshack album http://www.photoshack.com/thumbnails.php?album=4436
