Europe Report Part 1: London

Europe was awesome! So awesome, I'll probably have to report on it in multiple posts.

First off: London!



Scott's workshop was quite the ton of bricks. He covered A LOT of information, and my attempts to apply them were, let's say, challenging. More than half of the students in the workshop are returning alums, and I can see why. Scott's methods are not only constantly evolving, but his students appear to grow exponentially and are definitely hungry for more. I am definitely humbled by the amount of skill and artistry that was present at the workshop in London. God willing, I would like to attend another one of his world workshops next year. It'll also give me an excuse to travel.

Without further ado, here are some of my photos from the workshop:

To top off the workshop. On Saturday night, we had a gallery showing of our work at The Jago. The piece I showed for that was this:

Kelly @ The Fashion & Textile Museum

Print Mastering: Gavin Conlan (I've since modified it from the print version, but he still deserves credit)

I picked that one because it was a different perspective than most of the other shots I produced. The low angle, the colors, and the impact that it had really stood out for me. To add to the fact that my print was hanging on a gallery wall was quite a confidence booster.

I'll also have to mention there was yet another awesome display of talent at The Jago by our very own photographer & model, Abigail Vander Hamm. After the crowds cleared and we were beaten and tired, she graced us by singing, "Over the Rainbow." I was quick enough to capture most of it on video. And with her permission, I'm posting it here. She is so spectacular that Scott states he's going to have her sing at his daughter's wedding. Yes, Scott, it's caught on video. No taking it back now!



Thank you to Scott, and all the students (Bandele, Linda, Daniel, Gavin, Christina, Abigail, & Arielle) for your knowledge, camaraderie, and artistic synergy. Thank you David Brubaker for making the gallery show a reality. And of course, thank you to all the models (Liz, Fliss, Ama, Kelly, Vanessa, Marco & Abigail) for your hard work, patience, beauty (handsomeness for Marco), and grace.
