Yervant in Venice - part nine

It was great watching everyone getting great images!

We were told to pick our favourite image of the day we were shooting, we didnt know why at the time, but we were to find out on the last day....

This was my favourite image from our own shooting day.

Yervant in Venice - part seven

More beautiful images of Esther, as directed by Yervant.On the second day of shooting, we were split into groups to shoot the models ourselves; what a cracking group I was in, so much talent from around the world.Someone in our group came up with the suggestion of getting Esther the model to run through the pigeons, as they are so typically "Venice" - Esther wasn't too keen but agreed! Here is David setting up the shot by spreading pigeon food about the square....And here is my resulting shoot, which has been post-processed NMP style.

Yervant in Venice - part three

Venice was full of colour, contrast and texture.I met a lot of lovely and interesting people on this course, from all parts of the world; such is the pull of being taught by such a grand master of photography.

Yervant in Venice- part one

Last October, I participated in a photography course which I had wanted to do for such a long long time.

I have admired the work of Yervant for many years now; his fluid fashion style and passion for his job makes him one of the worlds best.

It was a dream to finally get on one of his week long courses, and the bonus was that it was in Venice, Italy!

Of course the family came along too, Jack loved pizza, ice cream and the gondolas!

Jack in Boston - 2008

We were in Boston last summer; one day Jack and I enjoyed a lovely summers day at the Common, and the Tadpole Playground. Jack got very wet...... several times!!
