I’ve never seen Project Runway, not because I’m opposed to the show, simply because we don’t have a TV. I know. We’re weird. BUT if you’re a fan, you’re probably going to love this post. And even if you’re not, hopefully you’ll enjoy another taste of somthing new to me: Fashion Photography…

This past Saturday I attended Keith Bryce’s Big Bang Photoshoot. Keith won season 5 of Project Runway. He’s the creative mind behind all of these costumes and sets. And then there were various teams of makeup artists and hair stylists who pulled his vision together with the styling. It was a huge group effort, one I’m happy to have been a part of. I edited a whole bunch and instead of posting them all here, I put them up on facebook for a change. That way everyone could go to town tagging themselves and all their hard work. So if you enjoy these faves, click HERE to see more of the party

And here are a few from behind the scenes that I really loved…

And this is poor Julie Parker. I say poor only because she’s about to realize she’s sitting on wet paint

At least she can laugh about and still look lovely all the while…

I’m so excited to announce my first round of workshops! It’s true, I’ve never taught a workshop before, at least not offically, but I actually LOVE teaching and sharing my version of this world through photography with others. My grandma made a comment recently when discussing my photography with my aunts saying, “the first time I saw Liz outside standing on her head taking pictures I knew they were going to be different”. I love when my clients will tell of the times when they were “about to take a picture but stopped and thought, what would Liz do.” What would I do? Well, this is my chance to share that with you.

I’m offering two different workshops this January, because seriously, there’s nothing good that happens in January.

I’ll be teaching a course for beginners, particularly those who know their camera is capable of more, but they just can’t figure it out. This workshop is perfect for moms who’d like to take better snapshots of their kids, or someone who is intrigued by the art of photography, but doesn’t even know where to begin. For more information on the beginning workshop click HERE. The beginning workshop will be limited to 7 participants and will be geared to fit your individual needs. Upon registering, I will be getting in touch with each of you to find out exactly where we need to troubleshoot.

I’m also crazy excited to be offering an advanced course for professional photographers, or those who are headed in that direction. This workshop will be a hands-on all day experience wherein I’ll do my best to offer you a first hand example of “what Liz would do”. My goal in teaching you is not to enable you to shoot exactly like me, but rather, to help you find your own shooting style. I plan to not only answer your questions, but ask you many in return. I want you thinking all day long! This workshop will not only cover shooting, but will also feature an indepth Photoshop discussion/demonstration. To learn more about the advanced workshop, including a detailed agenda of the day, click HERE. The advanced workshop will be limited to 5 participants to ensure you get the individual attention you need from a workshop like this!

To register for either workshop, email me at liz@etfphotography.com. Remember the spots are limited and registration will be based on a first come, first serve basis. Payment in full is due upon registering and is non-refundable. I accept personal checks or CC through paypal (though a paypal account is not needed for this method) However, you can transfer your registration to another person as needed. There are no geographical limitations for participants.

If you’re wanting to attend either workshop as your Christmas gift, please let me know and I’ll make sure you have something to unwrap Christmas morning!
