Elaine Gates Recap

I thought Elaine Gates' photography tips were really helpful. I liked how she put examples of her own work on a power point for all of us to see and talked about how her business grew rapidly. I thought it was helpful when she talked about different weather conditions. She talked a lot about the lighting and how important it is in a photograph. Elaine said about an hour before sunrise/sunset is the best time to be out shooting. She also gave very good tips when it's windy outside and how you just have to rotate the other way around. One of the most important things she said was that the photographer doesn't necessarily have to move the model around. The photographer should be moving, trying to capture different angles of the model. The main goal is to make the model like her pictures in the end result. Elaine's pieces are really beautiful and you can sense the passion through her pictures. She loves what she does and it's inspiring to see the amount of work that is done and she ends up getting beautiful results.
