Inspired

Years ago I was introduced to the amazing photography work of Nashville's best, Zach and Jody Gray of Gray Photography (thanks Ashley R.!!!). I've marveled at their work and followed their blog consistently as inspiration of where I'd like to take my photography skills. This past week, I was beyond blessed to have the opportunity to attend a 3 day In Camera workshop that they hosted in Nashville. By "In Camera" they mean learning to get everything from the lighting (whether natural light or off camera lighting), exposure, composition, and white balance all right from the beginning in the camera so that VERY little post editing is necessary. Ah ya!!!

To say that I was inspired by the photography skills that Zach and Jody taught or the business and marketing tips they shared, would be an understatement. But even more than these incredibly important things, I was inspired by their love for God, each other and teaching us photographers. Their willingness to share things that most photographers keep so closely guarded was a true testament to their giving spirits. Zach and Jody, THANK YOU! And to all the other unbelievably talented photographers that I met at the workshop, thank you as well for your friendship and all the laughs :-)....I had a blast!

Natural light shots with the amazingly beautiful and talented model, Lindsey.












Off camera light shots with the stunning models Aimee, Lindsey and Bailey. Notice how amazing you can make the sky look when using off camera lighting, allowing both the sky and the model to have perfect exposure. So COOL!!

Those pictures are amazing, the off camera lighting ones at the bottom are my favorite.

Stacey! Looove your pics! They make me wish I had come for the 1st day of the workshop too (plus we could have hung out more!).

I'm so thrilled I got to meet you there ... I just know if we lived in the same place we could be BFFs. =) If you ever come to ATL, please let me know! And I will definitely do the same. Can't wait to see all the great things ahead for you!
