The Art Weekend - SLC

This weekend I participated in The Art Weekend here in Salt Lake City.  It was the perfect opportunity for me to learn some very specific, long-awaited skills.  First, Illustrator.  I've been working and designing in Photoshop for years and have always known there was an entire world I was missing.  The possibilities are endless and I'm sooooo excited.  More on that in a later post.  The second thing I had a chance to dabble in was studio lighting, taught by renowned photographer, Nicole Hill Gerulat.  She was awesome and the class was super helpful and informative.  After Nicole set up the shots and gave us some demos she gave us a chance to shoot.  These + a few hours of editing today, are the final result.  Enjoy!

Something became incredibly clear to me after shooting these: I want to be shooting primarily in the studio and I want to master the manipulation of light.  This is great news for grad school :)

A few months ago I had one of those moments.  You know, the "wow, I want to photograph him/her."  I tend to immediately come out and tell these people about my desire to put them in front of my camera, and sometimes they're receptive and something they think I'm creepy.  Luckily, Pope didn't think I was creepy, and for that I am grateful.  Because. . .

    

Muchas gracias mi amigo.
