Scavenger Hunt...

So I am now several weeks into the semester, and I am loving (no seriously LOVing) my wedding photography class. We have had 2 amazing guest speakers (Jasmine Star & Marc Weisberg), learned tons of stuff, and have had a couple of great class shoots! So here are some of the pictures from todays (um, I mean yesterdays.... yep, I'm blogging after 1) class shoot...

We started out with an assignment to shoot a plant, a book, a chair, and the Cypress College Tower using dynamic composition...












Then after class several of us stuck around for a workshop with Greg Bumatay (our prof)! Netonya, once again ended up being our model (that's just what happens when you're gorgeous) & we had to shoot her in different lighting scenarios that Greg set up for us, all while creating interesting shots...








There was like 15 of us shooting, so shooting around each other was slightly challenging, but I guess if I ever want to become a paparazzi I can say I have experience! Here is Jack shooting Netonya...


It was a great morning of shooting, but I learned a valuable lesson... if you're going to be shooting out in the sun don't wear a sweater!

Shooting groups...

Shooting groups of people is a learned skill & finding interesting positioning for 6 - 10 people at once, all while keeping the shot balanced is a hard thing... so today when found out that we would be learning how to do group shots I was so excited (and relieved). Not only did I learn some great positioning tips, but I also learned great ways to engage the group! Here are a few of the shots I got, all the same position but I edited each one differently!

{sidenote: I personally think that this was the best group of students to work with, they were fun & I learned so much from them! Thanks to Jack, Pedro, Lexie, Lisa & the always amazing Netonya!}





Next week I'll be getting back to my regular blogging of clients... we have 3 family shoots coming up & I'll be shooting a wedding as an intern, so stay tuned for some awesomely fun photos!!!!

Until then...
