I had the pleasure of attending an amazing photography worksop last week hosted by the super talented Carla Ten Eyck <\/a>and Steve Depino<\/a>. What a day! Carla and Steve invited us all to re-examine why we got into photography in the first place. What is it about photography that first captured us? What can we do to feel inspired again?<\/p>\n

They also pushed each of us to think about how we would like to learn and grow technically. We were encouraged to shoot in a way that was new to us–to use a lens we don’t often use, to try an angle or a perspective we never shoot from. This was a great exercise. I grabbed my 85mm lens that I have only owned for a short time and have only used on a couple of occasions. I knew I liked this lens for close-up, intimate portrait shots, but I made myself use it almost exclusively that day–even when we shot our model couple, Justin and Mary Marantz<\/a>. I have to admit–it frustrated me at times because I kept wanting to “go wide” and fall back on my usual lens, but I knew this was a perfect opportunity to play and to experiment.<\/div>\n

This workshop was awesome. I feel like it absolutely inspired me and I just loved having an opportunity to work with and learn from the many other talented photographers who attended.<\/div>\n
I must also give a shout out to my favorite hairdresser, Kerry, from Cahoots Salon in Avon. She did a superb job on our models’ hair and make-up. Wait till you see these ladies! The models were such naturals–none of them are “real-life” models but they all rocked their shoots!<\/div>\n

Here is Cara. Her expressions were perfect:<\/div>\n

Okay–so this is my first blog post EVER and it has taken me way too long! My poor 3 year old has been entertaining himself behind me for just about the whole time and we are overdue for dinner! I have plenty more to add and until I post this am not sure my pictures are going to post as nicely as I hope–size and quality–so if they don’t, I may re-post them later.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Anyway–this post is To Be Continued…<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
