Workshop Pics!

I went to a photography workshop in Grand Rapids this weekend. I learned so much and had a chance to talk to the instructors in detail about photography and running a business. I loved these girls and I WANT TO BECOME A PHOTOGRAPHER! These pictures are all out of order, but here are the highlights:


This is Haylee. She was one of the models bought into the workshop so we could try everything we learned. This photo shows stop motion, meaning that her face is in focus, but her hands are not, because they are moving.
Another assignment was composition. I like photos that are not straight, or head on.
This is my FAVORITE picture from the whole workshop. I did not do any color correction on this one!
This is an example of depth of field. Haylee is in focus, but the woman looking at her camera is not.
Composition again.
Silhouette shot, kind of.
Haylee had amazing eyes. Not green. Not blue. Almost grey.
And this is my new favorite photographer, Amy. She is demonstrating the stop-motion technique for us here. Thank you, Amy, for an AMAZING workshop!
This was our other model, Jennifer. I didn't get the best shots of her, but I liked this one because her hair is glowing from the lighting behind her.
