Nerves to Smiles<\/strong><\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

We went through the material from the Natural Light Portraits<\/a> 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<\/a>, past photo student. Her modeling instructions were simply “Be yourself.”<\/p>\n

By the end of the session Nathalie’s nerves had melted into smiles. She did well and had fun shooting. Nice work Nat!<\/p>\n

Below, see some photos I shot during her final exam:<\/p>\n
