I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to live in the same city as the fabulous Susan Stripling! I’ve known she was here for a long time but never went to her studio to say hi, until last Thursday when I attended her 2-day workshop. Not to sound mushy gushy, but “life changing” might be the only way to describe it. For awhile now, me and most of the photographers I know have been afraid of the bright sun and run to open shade for portraits. No longer! Susan is like a master of light and taught us all how to use the light to our advantage, no matter how harsh or direct. She also happens to be the funniest person ever, I was in stitches the whole two days. I learned she LOVES super long, flowy, wordy blog posts, but I want to post some images from the workshop instead of blabbing all afternoon. (that was a bit of sarcasm…) On a side note, I got to meet a bunch of super cool people from around the country, and enjoyed talking about photography and life with all of you! Keep in touch!
My favorite of the day. Check out the light right on the rim of her face….gorgeous!
Awesome for you…. sounds like you learned alot about lighting. Love the images… the rim lighting is so preeettty.
Sooo pretty! I’m loving all of the light! Guess this means you’ll have to take more pictures of me soon! 🙂 love ya
Ok so now I am even MORE super sad I didn’t go!!!! 🙁 But I will pick your brain hehe! We are BOTH def going next time she does one here! 🙂 love you!!!!!
way to ga, lady! pretty images. I didn’t get many at all from the first day…those of Karlin are wonderful!
Your photos turned out beautiful! I also LOVE Susan’s work. It’s exciting that we have such amazing photographers right here in Tallahassee.
It was great meeting you at the workshop, Kylene! Your images are lovely—I especially like the second from last. I hope you’re well!
