Los Angeles 2023 Workshop Recap

The first workshop of 2023 is in the books! LA’s been having some odd weather this year and it sure wasn’t the most cooperative for us but we still had a great time and got some great shots. Just gotta improvise your approach when you don’t get the sun you expect/hope for. Same goes for […]
Los Angeles Workshop Recap 2022

This post is long overdue and it’s gonna be a long one, but after many, many weeks of some serious hard drive issues – I cannot stress enough to have multiple backups of your work – I’m finally coming up for air and was able to find some time to edit the LA shots. That […]
Student Images from the 2022 Los Angeles Workshop

Last month we had a great 3 days exploring Los Angeles! Such a great group for my first workshop outside of Chicago since covid.

The Broad – Inside & Out

The Diller Scofidio + Renfro-designed Broad Museum in downtown Los Angeles is one of my favorite buildings in LA.

So, let’s take a brief look […]

Los Angeles Workshop 2019 – Day 1 Recap

Late February we held our Los Angeles workshop for the 3rd year in a row. We try to change things up a bit each year, learning what does and doesn’t work best from previous years. After last year’s visit to the Getty we realized we need more time at this fantastic location, so we spent our […]
Los Angeles Wanderings

After we wrapped up the workshop in Los Angeles, we spent a few more days exploring some architecture in parts of the city not as easily accessible for a workshop. Given how spread out LA is and the traffic, omg the traffic, it took us a few days to get to all these locations. And […]
Los Angeles Workshop Roundup – Day 1

I’ve shared a few posts from my favorite locations from day 1 of the Los Angeles workshop Michael Muraz and I led. Thought I’d round out the workshop posts with the remaining locations from the day. One of our stops was LACMA, a bit of a more difficult location to shoot, but I liked the […]
