Noemi Photography

I usually reserve a spot at all my workshops for someone who is gifted and passionate about photography but not in a good place to be able to afford to come.

I’ve had tons of requests over the last few years asking if they can shadow me to learn technical and creative …so, now you can! I have been teaching FOCUSED Photography Workshops for 3 years and this is the first time I’m doing an evening version.

Who should attend?

Aspiring and/or established photographers who want to freshen up their portfolios and learn new technical and creative photography techniques.

Cost Includes:

- Over 3 hours of hands-on training with Noemi Hedrick

- 2 groups of live styled models to add to your portfolio

- Signed model releases on file to ensure you have the rights to use the images you shoot

- Technical & Creative on the spot training

- Learn how to get consistently accurate exposures in changing lighting situations

- Interacting with models, natural posing techniques, capturing images with impact that will stand the test of time

- Q&A during and after shoot to discuss challenges

WHAT TO BRING?

Bring your digital SLR camera and a smile:)

Preferred lens is a 70-200mm to keep everyone at the same shooting distance so we don’t get in each other’s way. You can bring other lenses as long as you are considerate and avoid standing in front of other attendees during the shoot. All gear should be stored on your person to keep you mobile. Bring paper and pen for on-the-go note-taking.

• Date – Saturday, August 27th, 2011
• Time – 5:00p.m. – 8:30p.m.
• Location – Meeting Location will be emailed to attendees.

First wedding of the season is a always kinda a coming out party! I love weddings and I love capturing love! Let’s get to the images…

A few weeks ago I blogged about the “Wedding Ceremony Locations” where I have shot in the last 8 years of doing wedding photography. I had every intention of following it with the list of the wedding receptions and never got to it until now! I wanted to make these list for a couple reasons…1. to help me remember 2. to help accurately answer the question “Have you ever shot there before?” 3. Give a list of ideas for brides still looking.

The race for setting your wedding date and securing your ceremony and reception locations is on! There are so many beautiful locations in the Twin Cities but, they fill up so fast…especially for the fall dates. Who doesn’t love the fall in Minnesota?

Usually brides set the wedding date, check to make sure the ceremony and reception are open for that date and then they call the wedding photographer. I love meeting with recently engaged couples! It’s so fun to hear each story and start dreaming of the photography that best suits them. Anyways…I’m getting side tracked…here’s the list:
