On Monday I joined about 20 other photographers at an all day workshop that the super talented Carla Ten Eyck and Steve Depino led.
What a fun challenge the day was! It was a "get out of your comfort zone" day. We did a lot of shooting with the basic instructions of "use a lens you're not comfortable using" and "direct the models". Now for some that may be no big deal, but for me (and some others there) candid, observational shooting is my thing. But you know what? I got into the moment and really tried to communicate the vision of what I wanted to capture to the models. They were amazing too and game for anything......including the "escaping bride scaling a fence" that I envisioned the moment I saw Cara, our bride model.
It was also such a great experience to watch the other photographers set up and direct their shots. There certainly was a lot of creativity flowing ALL day long.
After shooting the couple, the fun loving and super posable Justin & Mary Marantz we all had to choose 4 photos from the day to throw up on the big screen for everyone to critique. What worked in the photo, how it could be better with a crop or color change etc. I loved seeing the resulting shots after having watched their creation.
Thank you Carla and Steve........I can't wait till the next one!
