KISS one day work shop!

Hey everyone! This is anna joy guest blogging for Mike (he's my super cool bro in law). we just wrapped up the kiss wedding book one day work shop. kiss books are so awesome! check out their website, kissweddingbooks.com! anyway, heres a few pictures of the day...

All these shots are straight out of the camera, NO editing, NO photoshop.

this shot is with a 50 1.2 lens, 1/13th shutter speed, and an ISO of 800, mike panned to get the shot shooting 8frames per second...


this shot was shot with the reflection in the tv, same 50 1.2 lens, 1/600th shutter speed, and an ISO of 800, with a Sunpak 20 camera light above the model, in the middle of the camera and her face.

Same shot, but shutter speed was 1/50th using ambient light.

this shot was using a california sunbounce reflector , 50 1.2 lens, 1/1000th shutter speed, and an ISO of 100 roughly

This was back indoors, and the shot was of her leaning on her arm on a couch, showing how you can use foreshadowing to reduce the distractions of the foreground.

Mike teaching everyone outside if KISS studio showroom...

Holy moly! Mike you are so awesome!

I enjoyed your lecture so much! I learned a ton from our little shoot outside the studio and will definitely be getting one of those rad reflectors soon!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. It was such a pleasure meeting you and Rachel!

thank you so much for imparting your knowledge, and insight to the business. i am so bummed that i had to miss the "shoot" part of the session. but i did run out and buy the audio book, "the e-myth revisited." thanks again for the generous workshop!

Hey Mike!

I learned a lot from Monday's workshop! I was a little bit under the weather, so sorry for having to bounce out of the room with a coughing spell.

I was actually at a point when I was burning out with the weddings and losing the original love I had for photography. However, your business model inspired me and I am working diligently to implement it soon - sustain, outsource and exit strategy!

Anyway, you are totally awesome! Hope to see you around :D

Best wishes,

Lawrence
