Photography Class

Recently, my husband and I took another FREE photography class at the Apple Store. It was called ‘Disrupting the Portrait’.

Basically, you shot ‘through’ things to make for a really cool photo. Once again, my husband was SUPER creative. Me, not so much.

So today features all the photos from that session. I chose to wear another $12.44 romper from Walmart.

Because it’s black, it can totally go casual OR dressy, depending on how you style it. You can see how I styled the gray one HERE.

Check out some interesting shots of the (thrifted from a long time ago) necklace.

Oh! I just noticed Mitch’s reflection in the above photo! Can you see him?

I was hoping this class would give me some insight into making my thick glasses look better in photos.

Shot in black and white, it’s not too bad, but still. #Meh

Mitch took my reflection and made it look really cool in this next photo.

Even the man teaching the class was impressed!

Of course, I still needed some ‘basic’ shots for the blog, so you could admire my outfit. 😉

Last, but certainly not least, the photos that he shot using techniques we learned at the class.

Aren’t they cool?!

More with Shadow and Light

Unlike my husband, I don’t have the ‘eye’ to take a good photo.

But I’m trying.

So today I thought I would share with you the photos that I took during the Shadow and Light Photography class at the Apple Store.

Our instructor, Daniel, is FAB!

He’s also very encouraging.

I chose the Silvertone filter to shoot my photos in.

I’m sharing the color version along with the black and white so that you can see the difference.

Here you are!

Did you notice that both Daniel and I are in the shot? That’s what made this shot cool.

BTW : it was totally unintentional.

Downtown Summerlin was made to be photographed, don’t you agree?

Look at me using the ‘rule of thirds’ method!

I impressed myself with this shot. Daniel, in the background, was impressed too.

Have I convinced you to try taking photos with your phone camera, yet???
