Post-workshop blues

June 15, 2008

Man, was it a great workshop or what! And I am glad it went as smooth as I planned and hoped, but not every time does it happen. All in all, we had a fun time.

First of all, I would like to thank the models and Lauren, our sole makeup artist — without them, we would be shooting the “pretty photographers.” They were full of energy, enthusiasm and humor — something I would mandate every other model I will work with will/should have. It was like shooting with friends — only these were prettier :) Thanks goes to: Brianna, Lena, Crystal, Tamara and Renata. If we had the second MUA, we could have even shot Cecilia.

Don did a great job with the workshop — but I will let the attendants comment. I wish I could listen to the workshop better, but the job of being a host comes with the duties to attend to other stuff around logistics, arranging, etc.

Finally, the photographers were a great bunch to hang out with — everyone was so cooperative and collaborative. An often missed point at shoots is that you learn best by assisting, and this bunch were all about it.

I would like to hear about your feedback on the workshop. More updates to come, as I am just returning to my place, and haven’t had a chance to unpack my camera, etc.
