At the beginning of the month I traveled to France for a workshop with renowned women’s portrait photographer, Sue Bryce<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I loved it for so many reasons, including:<\/p>\n

Inspiration – being surrounded by the top tier of portrait photographers in the world
\nNew knowledge \u2013 business, lighting and posing techniques
\nInternational connections – new friends and future project collaborators<\/p>\n

Day One of the workshop was held at\u00a0Hotel du Duc de Noailles, a private, 17th-century mansion where Mozart stayed several times. \u00a0After demonstrations about lighting, posing and many other things, we practiced, photographing eight models all day.<\/p>\n

Day Two was held at\u00a0Chateau du Val, a former royal palace. \u00a0Sue led the discussion about serving clients, business, marketing, and goals.<\/p>\n

Here are some cell phone pics of the workshop, as well as some of the portraits I made while there.<\/p>\n
