WOW, what a week ! ! ! For the past 6 days I have been in a workshop lead by Carl Caylor, a Master Photographer and teacher. The workshop was on portraiture using natural light…NO flash ! His emphasis is on using the best light available and creating a portrait that is natural, well composed and has impact. He basically preached the 12 elements of a winning competition print through PPA, Professional Photographers of America. I am a member and plan on entering print competition so this was really wonderful… We had 3 days to shoot with a variety of models.

These are a few of the images I took during the week. I plan on bringing these techniques to my wedding and family/individual portrait work. The class was held on the campus of the University of San Diego. It is an
absolutely gorgeous campus with locations for shooting in every corner.

Enjoy.
