Photography 101 Recap!

We recently hosted our most popular workshop, Photography 101, and it was a blast! We had a great group of attendees and we were totally blown away by how quickly they all soaked up the information!

This workshop was designed to get people to take their cameras off of AUTO mode and get them shooting (confidently!) in full MANUAL mode. A good portion of our workshops is instructional information but we never want our students to feel lost or fall behind, so we always keep everything hands-on and we make sure to supply lots of pretty things for everyone to practice photographing! This time around, we had a beautiful model and a ton of fun little vignettes set up around our studio!

Thanks to everyone who attended this workshop! You guys did such an awesome job! Here are a few of our attendees' favorite images:

We know you learned a ton and we can't wait to see more of your photos as you continue to grow! Be sure to share them on our Facebook page!

Also, huge thanks to our sponsors: Shutter Bag, Clickin' Moms and Artifact Uprising and our model Shannon Swanson.

If you're interested in attending a future workshop, please check out our upcoming events page! We have some really, really, REALLY cool stuff coming up very soon! If you have questions about becoming one of our event sponsors, please send an email to hello@goldengirlsworkshops.com!
