Workshops Announced!

Wow, What a great response to my last post! and I didn't think anyone read this blog. I am almost full of photo shoot bookings on the Cayman days...I still have some room in Florida and Jamaica, and due to overwhelming response, I will open a photographer's workshop and a model's weekend in Jamaica and Florida. Please email me at photobarb@aol.com for details and dates.



I am one of those people who doesn't keep any photographic secrets...I really feel that if you and I were standing right next to each other shooting, even if I told you every single thing that I know, we would each take totally different photographs. Plus, when I was starting out, I wanted a mentor so badly, and everyone just guarded their secrets so closely that I had to learn it all the hard way. I used to feel very inferior, because I pretty much gerry-rigged everything with fishing line and and eyelash curler, until I noticed that everyone else gerry-rigs too! Maybe not with an eyelash curler, but fishing line is a universal must in the photographic world. Who knew? My mentor, the goddess Marilyn Sholin, http://www.marilynsholin.com/, has always been ultra generous in sharing her secrets, and I can only hope to give back as well as she has.



So for those and many more words of wisdom, come on over to my workshops. No, really, I have been giving workshops for 11 years, and my specialty, beside spilling all of my secrets in plain, easy to understand language, is working with you individually to help you achieve your goals, no matter where you are at in your photographic or modeling process. I'm starting to get excited about this!
