I absolutely ADORE [Melissa Rodwell], her photography, and her no-nonsense candor in which she speaks on her [Fashion Photogaphy Blog]. I had the privilege to attend her November [Workshop] in LA. The workshop was loads of fun, and 2 full days of soaking up information like a SPONGE. Coming back and starting 2010 with a fresh perspective has really given me a kick of confidence in the studio. I decided last minute to submit a shot from a recent shoot to Melissa’s [Shot of the Week] feature. This is my FOURTH time submitting and my SECOND time being picked! I’m SUPER excited!! I LOVE hearing from Melissa, and getting a bit of feedback on my work. Her blog is a fashion staple, so make sure to add it to your daily blog reading!

I realized I never talked much about my experience at Melissa’s workshop, so if you have ANY questions, please feel free to leave a comment, and I’ll reply below! These shots were taken at the workshop, and edited by the FABULOUS [Maria Esztergalyos]. (I’ve started out-sourcing my fashion editing, but that’s *another* post!).
