Lexington Wedding Photography by Walt Roycraft Photographer

Model shoot in San Antonio

admin — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 13:54:50 +0000

I recently attended a wedding photography convention in San Antonio, Texas. There are so many conventions that are attended by thousands of photographers making the class size impersonal. The DWF convention is very intimate with only 125 attending, yet we had some of the worlds best photographers teaching. I learned post processing techniques by Dina Douglas who is known for her vibrant color and beautiful skin tones. Jerry Ghionis, from Australlia, did a live posing demonstration. Marcus Bell, also an Aussie, had us in tears, emphasising not only the importance of beautiful photos, but the emotional connection between the Bride, Family and us as photographers. We wrapped the week up with a couple model shoots that I wanted to share with you. I hope you enjoy them!
