Thought I’d quickly update my blog with some travel photos. If you read my personal blog, then you’ve seen these already. But for everyone else…here is some of what we saw while in the vicinity of Bangkok, Thailand. More to come in the future from Chiang Mai, Phuket, Krabi, and Koh Samui.
After an extended vacation, Michele Schanker Photography is now open again.
Where did I go? My husband and I took a long vacation to Thailand where we saw monkeys, pet tigers, fed a baby tiger, rode elephants, snorkeled with the fish, and ate lots of good Thai food. I’ll probably share a few photos from time to time as I sort through everything. Now we are suffering the horrible jet lag. Its like no other jet lag that I have had before. My body keeps shutting down around noon, but its like 3am in Thailand so I guess that makes sense.
As a pretty new wedding and portrait photographer, I definitely find that I am still trying to find and develop my photography style, especially when it comes to weddings. For a while now there is one style of wedding photography that I’ve been wanting to bring into the mix. What is this style? It is fashion inspired wedding photography. This is something I’ve been loving since the time I saw it. Part of me thinks I haven’t been daring enough to push it outside of my comfort zone and capture some of these images. Well, this weekend I went to a workshop that will hopefully change all of that for me. The one thing I know that is in developing my wedding photography style, I want to incorporate a bit of the modern traditional, photojournalistic, and fashion inspired images all into one style.
The following images are some of what I captured during the Doug Gordon Photography Workshop in Glendale, CA.
I am totally digging these square crops! But I really love square pictures and albums anyways.
October 1st and I’m so excited.
One, the registration opened for WPPI and I have signed up for my very first WPPI convention in Vegas.
Two, the B School is finally starting and I signed up for that too. I am so looking forward to learning more from great photographers around the country and around the world. This is a very exciting time. If you haven’t checked out B school yet, you should!
