Thursday, July 7th, 2011Who doesn’t love Chicago? It’s a rhetorical question of course. ☺
We had an amazing event in Chicago on Tuesday… the class stayed until midnight! There was some serious learning going on for sure. Thank you to everyone who attended.
Wednesday was another intense day or learning in our all day workshop in Chicago. We had some great models, great outfits, and great locations.In fact, Mike, one of the attendees, came through with access to a rooftop location for some amazing shots of the city in the backdrop.
Special thanks to B&H for providing all the cool gear for us to play with. I am now in love with the Canon 300mm 2.8 lens. Special thanks to BehindtheShutter.com, Songfreedom.com, Revolution Imaging and Design, and Fundy SOS for providing each attendee with free membership and goodies!!
And of course, thank you to our couple… george and ashley schank!
Check out some of the pics…






playing in traffic in chicago can be a dangerous yet rewarding proposition.

apparently, you need a permit to shoot on the train platform… needless to say, we didnt have one.

our lighting techs… gage my assistant and gabriel from b&h

yes, taylor and i are literally on the edge of this 5 story building. hey, you do what you gotta do for the shot.









last shot of the day! the gang was exhausted, but we had a blast learning and shooting all day. it was my pleasure meeting and getting to know all of you.
