Both Sides of the Camera

Today, the students got to experiment a little with the basics of studio photography. Using strobes for lighting is an all new skill set and after a short amount of explanation and experimentation, they were off and running again. Today was also the day that they weren't just the photographers and retouchers, but they also acted as photographer's assistant and model too. Lots to learn, but they took to it like ducks to water.
We'll start out today with Kerrianne, who did a great job, first with Lauren and then a serious looking Jim in black and white.


Next up was Kailynne, who got a great smile from Ben and managed to catch Annie at one of the few moments she wasn't smiling.
Next up is Lauren who got great expressions from both Jim and Kerrianne.
Annie stepped up and did great jobs with both Kailynne and Benjamin.

Ben got to bring in his bigger camera today, making his teacher a little jealous. He did a great job with both Annie and Kailynne.

Jim brings a smile to the lips of Kerrianne while making Lauren look noble and probably more serious than she often is.
Hard to believe that tomorrow is day ten, which will wrap things up this summer. I have to say that all of the students greatly exceeded my expectations. I think it is likely that the next Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson or Annie Leibovitz will be emerging from this crop. Keep your eyes out for them.
