Photography Workshop coming in July (Greenville, SC)

What makes it "magic" is knowing how to shoot in any condition
I used to believe that other photographers got "all the awesome clients, locations, and jobs", but three years ago, one of my favorite mentors opened me up to a new way of thinking and "seeing". In some cases I was already utilizing some of these techniques, and in other ways my mind simply exploded in creative wonder. Rarely have I found shots are prepped and ready to shoot as I'd like them to be, but rather they begin with an ordinary day, in and ordinary scene, within an ordinary life. However, there is way to make the ordinary extraordinary and to open yourself to a new world of wonder and possibilities!

She was shot inside a tornado in the shade....on an ordinary day
I shot the image below while in the Outer Banks, atop a third story balcony of the house we were staying in. The sun was perfect...on the opposite side we were shooting, and the wind was a mini-tsunami waiting to happen. Taking nothing but a speed-light & a 5-1 scrim, we battled the wind and 25 minutes later produced the images below. The scene was shot with a Nikon D700 around 7:40pm, 1 hour before sunset. The beauty of the image belies the ordinary setting and the windy conditions we had to deal with. Many times I have to shoot in stormy, windy, noon-day conditions, inside bland hotel rooms and boring churches. There are opportunities of wonder to be made in each of these settings, it's just knowing how to do it and how to "see" that makes the difference. If you want to develop your creative vision, and enhance your photographic eye, come and be part of one of our workshops. You're gonna love it!
