Dear blog readers, if there are any out there, this is a blog post dedicated to two photographers I admire, respect, and follow. Justin and Mary Marantz have generously decided to give a very special workshop to 20 lucky people of which I would absolutely love to be one of.
I have specialized in newborn baby photography in the studio for the past 6 years (old website: studio139.com) . I am brand new in the world of engagement and wedding photography. I have photographed a whopping total of 4 engagement sessions and I am eagerly waiting to photograph my first wedding (which I have not yet been hired for) none the less, I am excited for that day ;0). For starters, I want to see the dynamics between the two of you during the shootout. I’m curious about which roles each of you take as first shooters, second shooters, and how that affects which positions you take when photographing the model. I want to see the way you communicate with your model. I want to see how you deal with different lighting scenarios. I want to be inspired by you. I want to be encouraged by you. I want to feel empowered by you. I want to learn from you. I know this is a chance in a lifetime and I would be so grateful if I am chosen.
This image is not of me, but kind of…it’s where i’m from :0)
