I recently spent a week in Chicago at a workshop learning some new techniques from Jerry Ghionis<\/a>, one of the top 10 photographers in the world<\/em>.\u00a0 It was a privilege to learn from Jerry…and learn I did.\u00a0 We went over so many things in 5 days that I was near short circuiting from information overload – LOL<\/span>.\u00a0 I am excited and ready to take my photography to the next level….but it will have to be done over time.\u00a0 I will have to break the comfortable flow I have and exchange it for pushing myself beyond my comfort level.\u00a0 It will take practice, practice, practice, to learn to see things in a different way, move things in a different way, and find that perfect sweet spot in the light each and every time.Jerry was correct when he said \u201c A pose without emotion is still just a pose\u201d. I want to really concentrate on improving the emotion captured in the images I take.\u00a0 I want it to ooze from each image, so anyone looking at them can feel<\/em> the love I see between two people immediately.\u00a0 Sometimes….this is not an easy task.\u00a0 With many destination weddings here in Myrtle Beach, I don\u2019t always get the opportunity to know and understand a couple as well as I would like to.\u00a0 I have to strive to find a way to make that happen.\u00a0 If I can understand better where they are coming from, then I can better recognize that special moment, the glance, the tiny knowing smile that two people in love share, and capture it.So.\u00a0 I would love to tell you that these images were all my creation, my posing, my lighting…but I cannot tell a lie \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 The truth is, many of these images were taken right over Jerry\u2019s shoulder as HE was posing, lighting and maneuvering his subject to the perfect spot.\u00a0 He is a master!None of these pictures have been retouched or altered in any way.<\/p>\n
