Award winning photographs

November 6, 2009

I attended  an International Photography seminar with group of photographers in Nashville  this past week. It was a three-day seminar with extra classes offered before and after the seminar. What an amazing group of people.

While in Nashville I entered 3 photographs into the print competition. I was just blown over when 2 of these images actually placed. I was really floored when I was awarded 1st Place in the High School Seniors category and 2nd Place in the Individual category. The winning images “Team Captain”, and “Waiting” are below.

I attended one of the extra classes on Pinups, holy moly was it educational. I cannot wait to start working on these.  The Pinup class was taught by world-class editor and photographer Mike Long from Katchlight Photography in Portland, Or. You can see his wonderful work here http://www.katchlight.com/blog/ and here http://portlandpinups.com/. Mike is a superb instructor and a master of his craft. I was honored to have be able to attend.

I had such a great time this year at this seminar. I was surrounded by world premier photographers in family, children’s, HS senior, Pinup and boudoir photography.

More images to follow from the event.

I have been working with off camera flash lately. It is a great way to get some very dramatic images.

I will be hosting a photography seminar here in Boerne in January 2010. The Workshop will feature an award winning dynamic photography team from the Canadian prairies, Warne and Nicole Noyce of Noyce Photography. With only a few short years behind the cameras as professional photographers they have built an incredible following of clients and fans!  In 2009 they won “Best Wedding Portrait” in the Professional Photographers of Canada’s national print salon with judges choice and loan collection accompanying that honor as well. From the beaches of the world to their private studio they are determined to create images that “rock.” Warne and Nicole are always thinking outside the box. Dramatic lighting, locations and exceptional processing have made them the photographers everyone is wanting to book! 

Here is some of the Warne and Nicole’s work:
