Morgan | Aspiring Photographer Workshop | Manhattan, KS | Chris

On a very very early morning in the beautiful town of Manhattan, KS, I hosted the latest Aspiring Photographer Workshop (APW) with a focus on senior portraits! The lovely, glamorous and incredibly gorgeous Morgan helped me out (again) but getting up ridiculously early, getting her make up done by a fantastic makeup artist in town (Trisha of Motives) and then posing for the camera on a fairly chilly morning! Yes, Morgan is beyond awesome. She's bey-awesome. True story.

Thank you so much for everyone who attended! If you are interested in attending future APWs, please submit a request to join our FB group page - La Brisa Photography Workshops (APW)! Or send an email to apw@labrisaphotography.com to get on the email list!

We were blessed with an incredible sunrise!


Trying to shoot at a higher ISO to create a purposefully grainy black and white - failed to remember how clean the higher ISO settings are on the 5DII =)


Worked on silhouettes for a bit


Morgan is amazing.


Light flare at f/1.2


Off camera lighting techniques




Utilizing direct sunlight


Showing lines and rules of thirds


Apparently this is called the "infinity wall" and I'd definitely agree!


A new trick that I learned: don't have your models close your eyes completely or else the makeup doesn't look as clean; instead, have them look "SUPER down!"




Some of the attendees in action! Love seeing all of the different perspectives!










Even while lying down, we're still really happy about it!
