I had the utmost pleasure and privilege of attending Scott Robert’s Next Level Workshop in Oakland/San Francisco last week. Scott is a world-famous wedding photographer who is one of the very best at what he does. At this two-day workshop, he covered everything from marketing, branding oneself, lighting techniques, and pretty much the ingredients needed to be a top wedding/portraits photographer.
Not only is Scott a master of photography, but he’s an unbelievable instructor who has a passion for teaching, especially those that are new to the wedding photography industry like myself. I’ve been inspired and motivated all over again thanks to Scott’s workshop and am ready to apply what I’ve learned starting right now. Just as important as this workshop, if not more, were the amazing individuals that I met while attending it. This was my very first time attending a photography-related event, and I was overwhelmed by the wonderful people that were there too, some of which I hope to have a life-long friendship with. It was truly great to have that common interest and passion among all of us. Guys, if you’re reading this, I’m already stalking your blog so keep the updates coming ;).
Besides teaching in the classroom, Scott also demonstrated how he would find the best lighting and pose brides at an actual wedding. We walked around Jack London Square in the Oakland area the first day and then took a ferry ride to San Francisco on the second. Special thanks to three very lovely and patient ladies on hand that modeled for us. Alexis, Johanna, and Chelsie: thank you so much for working with us; you guys were the best!
Here are some of my favorite shots from the workshop. Note: some of the poses were set up by Scott. We shot after he demonstrated with his camera, so credit goes to him for that :). Please check out Scott’s blog to find out in detail how his workshop went and view more photos. Btw, I’d love to hear what you guys think about these shots!
