"Stripling" seminar in Atlanta USA

Sorry for not being totally contactable the past couple of weeks or so, hopefully I have got back to everyone now since my trip away to the States.

What a trip; fab fab fab fab fab did I say it was FAB?!

I am a BIIIG fan of the up and coming, hip and trendy, young female photographers in the States; my favourites being Jessica Claire, Susan Stripling, Laura Novak and Allegra. There are just so many fabulous lassies in the States producing scrummy yummy images that just amaze me and give me so much inspiration.

Well I am so lucky enough to say now I have met 2 from my list and they are as wonderful in real life as they are on the Net!

I was lucky enough to second shoot for Laura Novak last Autumn at a gorgeous beach wedding in Delaware, Philadelphia. And in return Laura took some gorgeous piccies of my boy!!


So when I found out that Susan Stripling was going to be doing her first seminar, I just HAD to go!

And was it worth it?!

Oh yes.

She is as fabbo in real life, as she comes across on her website, blog and the forums we frequent. I found out so much about her life, her passion for photography, her inspiration (fashion, dance etc; so similiar to me)

She showed us some wonderful photos and we got to see her work with 2 models which was great to see. I also got some great shots myself (one above)

Susan also very kindly took a great shot of me, the best shot I have ever had of me!

There are also some cracking shots of the group on Susan's blog,

As you can see, we all had fun!!

Then Graham, Jack and I had some chilin' time in Jamaica, and Of course I had to practice some of the new techniques I had learnt on the course! Here's Jman chillin'...............

Thanks to Susan for a FAB time, hope to meet up with you again sometime.
