Photography Tips from a Model Shoot
When I started leading workshops 20 years ago, I had almost no experience working with models and found it very intimidating. Since then, though, I’ve learned a lot and really come to enjoy these opportunities. Here are a few of the things I’ve learned, with examples from a workshop I recently taught in Savannah, GA.

One Ocean Expeditions runs trips to the Antarctic in winter (it’s summer down there) and the Arctic in summer, and I’d taught photography on one of their ships in the Arctic back in 2015. Now they wanted […]
