New Orleans Fashion Portraits & Street Images

I just got back from teaching at a photographic convention in New Orleans.  The event was for After Dark, which is a 3-day conference for professional photographers.

Here are some of the images I created while I was working there.  This first set of images were while I was teaching fashion lighting…

During my off time, I continued to see images in my mind and had to get them.  I ended up borrowing a photographer friend of mine, Angelina, and used her as a model for some of these ideas.  These were some of the images I created of her.Created while teaching at After Dark Education in New Orleans.
