| Portfolio + Workshop Photos | 10.23.2009 |
Last week I was in Miami to be a guest instructor and the Portfolio + Workshop hosted by my friends Kenny Kim & "Uncle Ray" Santana. (The amazing Lawrence Chan, my SEO guru also was a guest instructor). It was a different kind of workshop than I am used to being a part of as a good portion of the day was dedicated to shooting and helping some newer photographers build their portfolios and get experience working with models in different lighting situations. It was held at the historic Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables and we also shot at a beautiful church right across the street from the hotel.
I didn't actually shoot very many images as I was busy trying to help the students with their camera settings and giving feedback on the images they were shooting, but I did enjoy shooting the bridal portraits of our model Jessi, who is actually engaged to be married next summer.
Obviously she is a beautiful young women and she was quite easy to shoot, but what I like to teach photographers is that in addition to finding nice light and good composition, it's important to connect with your subjects on a personal level and truly bring out their personality in the images. That's what I mean when I talk about my signature relaxed portraits.
