So, last month my assistant, Candice, and I visited New Orleans for the Pictage Partner Conference. We were so excited to go! Not only was it our first time to be a part of the Pictage Conference, but it was our very first time to visit New Orleans as well! We had a blast! The entire conference was three days, and each day we attended work shops of our choice to sharpen up on our photog skills. On the last day, we actually got to participate in a hands-on photo shoot with Grant Oaks, a professional photographer based out of Denver, Colorada. We loved the workshops, but I would have to say that the hands-on shoot was our favorite. It was just a really cool experience. We got to walk the streets of New Orleans and shoot a model named Karen. She was absolutely stunning!
It was really hard to pick a favorite with this shoot…as I’m sure you can tell! This is definitely one of my lengthier blog posts. We got some good shots for sure. It was kind of neat to work with an actual model. She pretty much just did her thing. No one really had to tell her what to do. It’s always fun to direct people on wedding days and everything, but it was refreshing not to really have to say much and just snap away. I also thought it was really cool to be at a photo shoot with more than just one or two photographers…there were 20 of us! I don’t think that I’ve been around so many photographers at one time in my life. It was a good time. Below are some pics of Candice and I during the photo shoot.
I think these last few would have to be my favorites. I thought the location was beautiful and that it kind of gave it a “high fashion bridal” look. If there even is such a thing as a “high fashion bridal” look! I hope you enjoyed this post. I have tons more pics from the NOLA trip as well…more from the conference and pics that we took while site seeing. So, check back.
