Photography 101 With Elizabeth From Phase4Photography

I was so excited to have my friend Elizabeth Engle come teach the young women group at my church about her amazing photography skills last Tuesday.

Here are a couple of her images that I like:

She talked about the basics of photography~ composition, pattern, perspective, texture.

Then she opened it up for a question and answer period, and we got a peek into her world of photography, photoshop, and expensive equipment.

Some cool tips Elizabeth shared that she learned from photographing models:

*To minimize the appearance of a double chin, push your neck forward just a tad.
*If you like to put your hand on your hip for pictures, turn your elbow slightly towards the camera so your arm won't look hugely out of proportion, aka fat.
*And if you don't do this already, study your face in the mirror and find your "good side." That way when you're posing for a picture, you'll already know which way to turn your head!

eww. i need a haircut, lol.

 It was really fun to have her come out and I definitely recommend her for any photography jobs!
