NH Photography | Lighting Workshop with Carla Ten Eyck

I had the opportunity to attend another workshop by the sensational Carla Ten Eyck of Carla Ten Eyck Photography in Connecticut.  I first met Carla at her posing workshop which I wrote about here.  Not only was she as wild and crazy as last time (seriously – attend a workshop or hear her speak – engaging is an understatement), and have just as valuable information this go around – she really instilled in me a sense of comfort when shooting in less than gorgeous places.  Everything we shot was in her basment…YES A BASEMENT!  With all the indoor plumbing going on, cords, fiberglass insulation, dirt you name it!  I have to admit when I first saw it I was less than thrilled (I kind of have a basement and attic phobia) but the results are GORGEOUS.  We discussed all sorts of ways to see and use light from ambient light through on and off camera flash.  This really solidified for me the desire to shoot a lot more off camera flash work (be on the lookout for a casting call in the future!).  Our model was the smolderingly beautiful Jasmine Balgobin of who works with Carla and the crew at the studio.  She seriously could not have been a better model, especially since she fought through the pain of the gorgeous gold sparkly shoes she wore the whole shoot.  I wish I could wear shoes like that…maybe I don’t need my heels or all ten toes…

Big thanks as always go to the crew at the studio especially Dominique (who is always so helpful even when I’m incessantly emailing), Rebecca (who I believe did Jasmine’s makeup) and Julie (who I believe made the awesome tortilla soup we had for dinner)!  Check out the results below!
