One thing I REALLY enjoy about teaching classes in this environment is how each class I teach, while the subject is the same from day to day, the classes rarely go the same. This weekend was no exception. Friday’s class seemed to take more of a lighting direction, but Saturday’s class focused on posing and working with the couple’s interactions with each other. We did a ton of posing work, and focused on how to change minor details to refine the pose and to try to make it the best it could be.
We started with some warm up kinds of poses to get our models, Kayla & Kyle, warmed up to being in front of the group and to get our creativity flowing.

Then we brought it to a more hip/contemporary kind of look.

While we were at it, a couple of individual portraits of Kayla & Kyle. :)

And of course we worked with some off camera flash too. This one was shot with an Alienbee 1600 and 24 inch Westcott Apollo Softbox.
We had a great time in Tulsa this year at the MPIX.com Meetup, and can’t wait for an even bigger and better event in 2012!
