So as  I stated for my first day at WPPI, I signed up for the Bui Brothers Lighting workshop where we learned about shooting the perfect head shot and cool lighting basics for portrait sessions. We had three great models, a couple, the lovely Steviand Matt Savage from Avery House and model Faye Blume.

they were all troopers as we needed to constantly move due to rain, wind and crowds coming in from MGM, New York and Tropicana, that is Vegas for you, crowds all the time. As I stated I felt I learned such fresh content, simple things, things I miss sometimes and so glad to be attentive to all details in the shoot, not just lighting, composition in a general way, but to really have my eyes wide open. details, lighting source, ambient lighting,natural soft boxes, shadows, background and such. It was also great interacting with other photographers and I had a great time, about a few more blog posts to be caught up with my amazing Vegas experience.
