Just finished up the “Light It, Shoot It, Finish It” workshop and it was an absolute blast! One fantastic venue, two gorgeous models and 18 photographers got together for a full day of shooting and Photoshop. First we all went to the Wilmington Grand Opera House to shoot. The whole workshop revolved around making extraordinary photos quickly and with only the stuff in your camera bag. This one as well as the rest were lit with just on-camera flash. Add a little due diligence in Photoshop and you’ve separated yourself from the pack!

It was great to see so many eager photographers looking to learn and innovate.

Gray, blah day? No problem!

We made a giant softbox from a white wall and we had an instant studio!

I was so rockin’ the CTO filter!

What a fun time that was! The next workshop is already in the works. It’ll be at least two days with more models, wedding gowns and will be ultra-intense so stay tuned!

Sandra is a real go-getter and when it came time to shoot her engagement session, she took control and got us permission to shoot inside the beautiful, historic Wilmington Grand Opera House. And she did this all while living in Florida! I could have shot Sandra and Matt there all day.

I just had a "movie poster" feeling about this one.

Sandra and Matt are having their reception at the ‘gawgeous!’ Hotel DuPont next May and that ought to be a blast!
