I just hosted two full days of Zack Arias’s OneLight workshop and it was the most wonderful experience. I met so many amazing people and was totally gobsmacked by the amount of sharing and learning that was done.








How cool is this, it was taken outside an abandoned building, after 1am in the morning in total darkness!

hee hee using my hand as a light meter! Zack is setting up a shot in the background with Becky.




Here is a shot of Becky without off camera lighting (gorgeous)

Zack rocking all kinds of light!

One of my most favorite shots from the day how cool is this (and it was LATE!!)

Thank you Zack for being a great artist and sharing so much and thank you everyone who attended – wow so many new friends and thank you so much Becky, Betty and Kyle for making it a joy to shoot!
Keep in touch everyone!
