Professional Photographers of America Unite! | Imaging USA 2017
Every year I attend a conference for professional photographers.
That may sound incredibly boring to you. (For me, it's a chance to talk nerdy with my people.) Or maybe you're curious - what on EARTH goes on at a photography conference?
we network with other photographers
we meet our vendors
we try new products
we attend classes covering everything from business to technique to inspiration
we eat
we drink
we don't have to feed our kids for a few days
we don't have to do laundry (free t-shirts!)
we learn from our peers
we absorb like sponges new and different ideas and concepts
we make new friends
we come back energized and motivated and revving our photographic engines
we also come back exhausted beyond belief
Oh, yeah. There may be a little bit of actual PHOTOGRAPHY going on, too.
This year I took several classes where we had models to photograph. I really love how the portraits turned out so I thought I'd share, just for fun. Today I'll share the senior portraits...
First, this is the charming Kent, our high school senior model from San Antonio.
This last shot, I asked him to look right at me and give me a stink-eye. He did. And then the crowd erupted in laughter. I kinda wish I got that shot, too.
Now. No offense to the handsome kid, but there's just SOMETHING about a girl in a gorgeous, flowing dress...
Allow me to introduce you to Georgeanna, our other San Antonio high school senior model.
I could have photographed this girl (and Kent, too!) all day long. But I couldn't. Why? Because THIS is what it ACTUALLY looked like at the shoot....
Surprisingly, no photographers were harmed in the photographing of this session. Much. (darn elbows)
I hope you love these shots... they WERE as much fun as they look. Truly.
Come back tomorrow -- I'm going to share some TOTALLY DIFFERENT images than anything I've ever done before. Curious? (evil laugh)
While you wait, here's another crazy behind the scenes shot....
