#728 2011 in review – excerpts from the blog

Monday, December 26th, 2011

2011 brought many firsts and we trumpeted the fun on our photo blog.

We held our first Open House at the photo studio. It represented a big milestone at HarryNowell.com. We worked hard to transform a run down property into OttawaStudioWorks.com

February

We blogged three classic courses held in January February – Creative Fundamentals, Natural Light Portraits and Photographing Pro Hockey. We posted some hockey photos from the workshop, too!

April

The studio slowed down a little in April as we introduced a new member to the team at HarryNowell.com. He stole our hearts.

Stay tuned for more highlights from 2011.

Nerves to Smiles

Yesterday’s Portrait Custom Course student was nervous – she is preparing for a 90th birthday party photo assignment. There’s a lot to think about when under pressure!

We went through the material from the Natural Light Portraits course spending time specifically on indoor use of camera mounted flash. We did a quick review before I left Nat to prepare for her final exam – producing portraits for an unknown person – Shirley, past photo student. Her modeling instructions were simply “Be yourself.”
