Samantha and Nic . Utah Wedding Photography Workshop Session

dustinizatt — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 07:30:38 +0000

Last month I gave a wedding photography workshop for utah wedding photographers Blake and Bryant of Photo54.com, and my dear friend Samantha (of Samantha Jane Images) who is also a Utah wedding photographer came to model with her best buddy Nic. We shot some of my favorite locations in the downtown slc urban areas and had a hoot n’ hollering good time. Samantha and Nic although just best friends, had awesome chemistry in front of the camera and I think Nic might have liked all the kissing shots we made them do Here are some of my favorites from the session.

Addie and Travis Workshop Session . Utah Wedding Photography Workshop

So a little over a week ago, I hosted another full day Utah wedding photography workshop for photographers in Layton. I had an awesome bunch of photographers attend this workshop and it was a riot hanging out with these ladies. We had the following attendees (two of which were pregnant, read on below, haha)

Eve Boxler Farley
Crystal Lamae and Rachel Rehart of R Plus C Photography
Leah Ferguson of Leah Ferguson Photography

I have to tell you how awesome it was walking into Olive Garden for lunch with the ladies, two of them being pregnant, haha. We joked with the waitress about me being a polygamist and Leah was bantering quite a bit to which the waitress replied “you need to beat this one more” Funniest thing ever. Our whole day not only consisted of shooting and learning, but tons of laughter and friendship

Our models were my ever so hot and ever so perfect for each other clients. Addie and Travis were married 12.2.2008 and I shot their wedding photography so I was so excited to see and work together with them again. A special thanks to Leah Miller of Leah Miller Photography for coming along to help hold my reflector I couldn’t have done it without ya.

Here were a couple quick edits from the session. Also, stay tuned for an announcement about my one on one mentoring contest

Full Day Wedding Workshop 2/20/2010

dustinizatt — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 09:00:13 +0000

On Saturday I hosted another full day wedding photography workshop in Utah for some very awesome photographers. I always enjoy teaching the workshops and helping other photographers advance their businesses and teach them the tools to save time and build confidence. We had quite a mix of photographers this time. We had Christina and Stefan of Patchwork Photography who drove down from Montana, Kristen of ~K~ Photography who drove from Wyoming, and Lisa of Bella Photo based here in Utah. We started out with a little classroom instruction in the morning, then did a live shoot in the downtown SLC area. Special thanks to one of my new interns Sarah for coming down and assisting with lighting, as well as our smokin hot models Shanda and Randy. After the shoot we finished the evening with going over the post processing workflow. I was blown away with some of the shots my students got and I can’t wait til they post them on their blog for you guys to see. Here were some of my favorites from the day.

Night Shooting Workshop – Shannon and Jess

dustinizatt — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 18:16:24 +0000

On 9/16/09 I held another Night Shooting Workshop in Salt Lake City. During the workshop I taught different lighting techniques such as dragging the shutter, off camera lighting with speedlites, painting with light, and dramatic video lighting. It was an awesome turn out and we had some smoking hot models I plan on scheduling more of these workshops in the springtime. I wasn’t able to shoot much, but here were some of my favorite images from the session. Thanks again to Shannon and her fiance Jess for volunteering and being such awesome models. Also thanks to Rachael for coming along and helping with the lighting
