No Rules Workshop – Norfolk Photography Workshop

Scott — Thu, 05 May 2011 23:42:06 +0000

So we spilled the beans at our latest workshop as we met some real neat folks and dished out some serious knowledge. We just happened to have a most amazing model for the day as we explored the streets around our studio and messed around with some lights in the studio too. Thanks to Erin, our model for turning on her glam for us! Stay tuned for our next workshop as we may be headed your way soon, check it out here – www.norulesworkshop.com.

Our “No Rules Workshop” dives into the details of running your business as well as opening up our studio for some shooting and editing instruction. We’ll have models and a couple of choice locations to shoot in so bring you cameras and computers! Our first local workshop was such a success we just had to do it again. Seats are limited and filling fast but you can purchase your tickets right online HERE.

Meanwhile, here’s a few shots from some recent workshops!

Palm Springs, California, Riviera Hotel – Dustin & Missy’s Couples Shoot!

Scott — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 20:20:43 +0000

We winged our way out west to the spectacular Riviera Resort in Palm Springs, California for a shoot and it turned out to be just what my jet lag needed! A fun and somewhat “experimental” shoot using a variety of lighting techniques including, video lights, ambient, off-camera flash, ringlight, and reflectors…that about covers it all. Thanks Dustin & Missy for joining us and getting your groove on for this long distance shoot – you rock!

SYNC 2011 – No Rules Workshop

Scott — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 19:53:02 +0000

St. Petersburg, Florida….love that town. We carried our cold and weary bodies to the sunshine state to hang out with 400 of the craziest photographers on the planet. I mean, these guys & gals are serious about their photography and their business! It just felt weird to be shooting on the beach in February – I know I heard my camera say, “What the…?” until Alexis popped in front of it! Alexis was our model for the afternoon as we strolled around the Tradewinds resort for our shooting workshop. She did fabulous especially considering all the cameras pointing her way! We’re back in Norfolk now with snow & slush today but I think I will post some sunny pics of Alexis to warm our cold toes. Ahhh….

No Rules Workshop – Norfolk

Scott — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 19:24:44 +0000

Our first workshop in our shiny new studio! Our thanks go out to the Wells Theater in downtown Norfolk for allowing us to use their fabulous space for our shooting. 20 of us dodged the snowflakes and took cover in the historic theater where we kept warm and took some rather cool shots. Christ & St. Lukes Church loaned us their stunning sanctuary for some shots inside the church. Our model Rachel looked amazing in a gown from Pure English Bridal and a couple of gowns from All The Rage Virginia Beach. Brian was sporting some vintage fashions from Echoes in Time that fit in perfectly with the theme of the shoots.

We love doing these workshops, especially when they are on our home turf and we know everyone came away with great shots and new friends. Our next local No Rules Workshop will be on April 13th where we will be focusing on shooting, editing, and image critique. Only 20 seats available and they will be going quick! Our teaching and workshop tour is kicking off in January so maybe we will be coming to a venue near you!

Alaska Workshop – Bride & Groom Photoshoot

Scott — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 15:19:08 +0000

Alaska is big and far away. That did not stop us from heading north and putting on our teacher’s hat and hosting one of our No Rules Workshops in Anchorage, Alaska! We had just finished up our Aruba weddings so we criss-crossed our great land and landed at Nordby Photography where they hosted us for a few days of shooting and instructing. A totally different backdrop from our usual beaches and parks gave way to mountains and the great Alaska outback. This will go down as a most unique location with sunset around midnight and mountains and forests that only Alaska could offer. Here’s a few pics of our bride & groom shoot on the rocky coast of Alaska (more to come!) :

Orlando “No Rules Workshop”

Scott — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 21:17:18 +0000

A bit of retro was in order for our Orlando Workshop which seemed to fit with the host studio (Nielsens Photography) since their studio is in a train complete with an engine and all! We had folks from all over come in for this event including, Texas, Utah, Florida, and even Trinidad. A very diverse group for sure which made for lots of questions and interaction which we love. Mike and Ann totally rocked the 30′s vibe with the fedora & birdcage veil. Thanks to our models, our fellow photographers and of course the gorgeous Florida weather we had a blast! Check out the video courtesy of Shaking Hands Productions and a few of my favorites. Next stop – Michigan!
