LOL ----------------------------------- wynnesome Mon Feb 02, 2009 7:01 pm Re: Feb. 1 2009 - Introductory Lighting Techniques w/ Adam Chilson & Lisa Berczel Repeats! ----------------------------------- Oh, Rosie! Thank you so much for hanging in those chains all afternoon. I have a couple of images soon to post, from that series, and I'm sure our workshop participants have many even more fantastic. Not to mention Adam's! I was already going to post with a note about how our crowd kind of takes for granted doing things like hanging in chains, but that you ended up with some pretty deep pressure marks. And I'm not surprised some bruises too. Not to mention that other thing on your face from the shoot afterward! ----------------------------------- KeithW Mon Feb 02, 2009 11:52 pm Re: Feb. 1 2009 - Introductory Lighting Techniques w/ Adam Chilson & Lisa Berczel Repeats! ----------------------------------- We had a great time yesterday and learned a lot about different lighting while getting some amazing shots... Thanks to Adam & Wendy for the workshop, Lisa for the Makeup and especially Emobi & Rosie for the amazing modeling. Who knew chains and oils mixed so well... Cheers Keith & Caroline ----------------------------------- wynnesome Tue Feb 03, 2009 12:25 am Re: Feb. 1 2009 - Introductory Lighting Techniques w/ Adam Chilson & Lisa Berczel Repeats! ----------------------------------- Keith, you're so welcome, both of you, and I hope we'll see you back again next month!

It was such a great class. I was very surprised with the pictures I was able to get since I have never touched a studio light in my life. Of course it is very tough to take a bad picture of our beautiful models. Thank you both for hanging in there. Literally! Well I'll post more photos when I get some free time to organize all the photos I took. Thank you again Wendy and Adam, I'm sure I'll be back for more workshops. Alex R ----------------------------------- wynnesome Thu Feb 05, 2009 1:42 am Re: Feb. 1 2009 - Introductory Lighting Techniques w/ Adam Chilson & Lisa Berczel Repeats! ----------------------------------- Alex, thank you so much as well. Excellent shot of Emobi, and we hope one thing you took from the workshop was the confidence that you CAN take great photos, and the tools to know how to do it next time and every time forward! We'll look forward of course to seeing further images from you if you would like to share them when you have the opportunity. And of course, if you decide to come back for the Advanced workshop with Adam on 3/15, please let us know! Otherwise, the workshop series is continuing and we will definitely have more workshop offerings on into the future! ----------------------------------- Battledress Paint N Body Thu Feb 05, 2009 8:59 pm ----------------------------------- Wow, what a great image, Alex! ----------------------------------- aalleexx5 Sun Feb 08, 2009 2:52 am Re: 2/1/09 - Introductory Lighting Techniques w/ Adam Chilson & Lisa Berczel - with EVENT PHOTOS! ----------------------------------- Thank you! Here are some of Rosie. ----------------------------------- wynnesome Sun Feb 08, 2009 2:54 am Re: 2/1/09 - Introductory Lighting Techniques w/ Adam Chilson & Lisa Berczel - with EVENT PHOTOS! ----------------------------------- Oooh, nice! The top middle, and the bottom one, especially! ----------------------------------- KeithW Tue Mar 03, 2009 11:44 pm Re: 2/1/09 - Introductory Lighting Techniques w/ Adam Chilson & Lisa Berczel - with EVENT PHOTOS! ----------------------------------- Been looking back through the workshop images and this one was a bit of a fluke... really happy with it though... patiently waiting for March 15 :wink: ----------------------------------- Adam Chilson Fri Mar 13, 2009 4:50 pm Like that cat that ate the canary ----------------------------------- Loved her expression in this one! ----------------------------------- Adam Chilson Fri Mar 13, 2009 4:51 pm Re: 2/1/09 - Introductory Lighting Techniques w/ Adam Chilson & Lisa Berczel - with EVENT PHOTOS! ----------------------------------- Some really strong images coming out of this workshop. First time I've had a chance to review them all. Very well done guys!! ----------------------------------- wynnesome Fri Mar 13, 2009 4:52 pm Re: 2/1/09 - Introductory Lighting Techniques w/ Adam Chilson & Lisa Berczel - with EVENT PHOTOS! ----------------------------------- Been looking back through the workshop images and this one was a bit of a fluke... really happy with it though... patiently waiting for March 15 :wink: Keith, that's great. I love the abstract element to it. I know what you mean by "fluke," but it take a lot of solid preparation, good eye, and quick catch to grab that "fluke" into a great shot. Nice job! We're really looking forward to Sunday, too! ----------------------------------- Adam Chilson Fri Mar 13, 2009 4:53 pm Aftermath ----------------------------------- Somewhere along the way we forgot to put the big chain back in. Ooooops. Sorry Nev!
