Upcoming Studio Nude Workshop
Studio Nude Workshop
Last Friday and Saturday we hosted Mark Comon's group from Paul's Photo in Long Beach CA. They come up every year as a group to photograph with us. We had 6 students and 4 models. Pretty good ratio of models to photographers!
Weston Photography Workshops with Mark Comon
Kim focused his teaching skills on composition, how to work with natural lighting and how to interact with the models. We had a great meal together and viewed Kim's photographs and his new painted photographs.
The weather was a bit foggy, but the light is always good here at Wildcat Hill. Today it is beautiful. The fog is hanging along the coast, going in and out. Tomorrow we have Mark's second group arrive and we start all over again.
The models were fantastic and we made some great images together. We had Sara, Larva and Jonathan again and we met a new model Jazmine that has joined us. They were superb! It was nice to be with the returning participants and great to meet a few new students! Thanks Mark!
Our next Studio Nude Workshop is September 2-4, email me to secure your spot today!

Kim presented Father Larry of the San Miguel Mission, a gift of a portfolio of work that he took when we attended the workshop with Al Weber in 2009. It was a wonderful visit and Father Larry gave us a tour of the mission and the areas were we will be able to shoot in at our upcoming workshop San Miguel Mission Workshop and Book Project on May 12-15, 2011.
