For those of you that follow me on Instagram or Facebook you know that I just got back from a week of learning all new sorts of stuff at a phenomenal photography workshop. It is the second time that I have been to this workshop and the experience is just CRAZY! It is called AFTER DARK, and the reason they call it this is no joke:) No early morning classes because the creating goes LATE into the night (I'm talking 3 and 4 am here!) Creatives from all over the world unite to learn from each other and mentor each other. It is very hands on, there are no stupid questions, all the mentors are open books and no "Trade" secrets exist here. They say you get addicted to this learning environment, and I'm proof! I can't wait to go to the next one, too! There is something new to learn every time! I can't wait to show some of the shots I took during the creating times and I can't wait to implement a lot of things I learned int he business pods. I'm throwing it out into the universe that I want to teach a class one day at AD;) I did find one mentor to be someone who I want to be like when I grow up- Bob Davis. Master of Light and Flash- he has photographed many celebrity weddings(including the Bachelorette Ashley and JP's wedding- Whoa! My two passions unite! ha!). I spent a lot of time at his seminars and learned so much about light and skin tones that I didn't even know I didn't know! I can't wait to take my camera skills to the next level thanks to him. Be sure to check back when I post some of the photos I took. Many were something I would never do on my own or techniques I would never try in everyday life, so I am so thankful for such a creative place to learn and grow!
Speaking of being out of town, there is lots to catch up on! Two weddings to blog, bridals to post and wedding season marches on! Up next is Elizabeth and Ben. I can't wait to shoot their wedding this fall! We had such a beautiful day for portraits before they headed back up the road to Raleigh where they live. I just love the old Bronco!(wait, I think it's a bronco? Yea, I know a lot about cars;)) Such a fun car that has been in Ben's family. Everyone have a great Friday! Enjoy!
