I spent some time recently in Jacksonville, Florida at the Scarlett Lillian workshop! While I was there, I met some amazing women and friends who came from near and far. It was a great experience, and I truly felt like I learned a little something from each of them. On the second day of the workshop, our guest model was none other than Whitney Thompson, Cycle 10 winner of America’s Next Top Model….. a show that I’ve only watched every season of (except for the first..). I was more than excited to meet her and work with her! She definitely showed up looking pretty normal – like you wouldn’t pick her out in a mall or something. But after hair and makeup, wow! She was stunning!
We got to play around with off camera lighting, and it was a great experience to teach some of the other women at the workshop the power of a Pocketwizard and the amazing imagery you can create with the proper settings. In talking more with them about shutter speed, aperture, and how everything works together, I had an extremely rewarding experience. It was great to teach a little bit and share the information that I had learned only a few short months earlier.
Here are some of my favorite images from the shoot!
