Dallas Workshop!

...Brianna teaching...



...look at those cute little models in the corner!...


...hehehe...we also had to turn our cameras over to another photographer and do a 'self portrait'...



...we spent the last day of the workshop focused on photoshop and correct color correction. Here are some before/after shots...



















This past week, I took a trip down to Dallas for the Brianna Graham workshop! It. Was. Fabulous. and I feel like my brain is about to explode from all the new things I learned! The workshop was 3 days and we studied at the Bolt Space Studios and Hotel ZaZa. There were 18 photographers who attended and everyone was so cool! I learned just as much from talking to these people than from the actual workshop! It was a wonderful experience overall and absolutely inspiring! A special thanks to Brianna and Partick for giving us all this fabulous opportunity!
