Recently I attended a Ten Eyck Tuesday Workshop on lighting, led by the effervescent, Carla Ten Eyck. My girls, Rebecca Hales was our model (and towered over me for the day) and DD Nickel was on beauty patrol. We got to shoot at the Gershwin Fox Ballroom, which is filled with so much art deco yumminess. If you know me and my home decor preference, you know I was swooning.
Here are my main takeaways, among other things: An 1/8th of a power rules, expose before you pose, and umbrella-ella-ella-aye-aye-aye!
Carla, love ya girl, and not just because you’re Mexican and have a wrist tattoo too, or throw really fun parties, but because you share your knowledge and feed us afterwards. :) + xo
I didn’t remember taking this image when I came across it. I thought about not posting it, but I think there’s something about it…

Once again I had the pleasure of attending another Raw Photo Design workshop packed with all sorts of boudoir goodness: models, hair, makeup, sexy lingerie and of course, Eric’s boudoir experience.
Boudoir by definition means a woman’s dressing room, bedroom, or private sitting room. However, in the photography world boudoir is a chance to let a woman put aside her inhibitions and let herself be captured as a pinup girl or lingerie model to surprise her man with an unexpected sexy gift. I don’t know if many of you have considered a boudoir session, but maybe after seeing how the images can be tastefully done, you’ll want to put one in the books. ;)
Also, big thanks to Eric & Amber for showing me thy ways. Y’all rock!
Enjoy my favorites…
Hugs,

The model was posed in a tight setting, so I worked around another photog.
What would a RAW workshop be without some off-camera lighting?
Oh here there, Eric! Thanks for the tunes. ;)
