My photography has really improved over the past 8 months or so. I finally go around to getting a new lens aside from the kit one and now I'm really addicted to taking pictures. I learned a lot with the kit lens, but having a zoom lens opens up a lot more options. My original intent was to learn how to shoot people (glamour, pinup, weddings, etc) since this site has been a bit inspiration to me, so I'm going to start looking into learning that. So far I've only been doing outdoor things like scenery and animals.

I signed up for a workshop for this weekend. I'm going to be shooting two Czech nude models. It seems very intimidating since I've never shot people or in a professional studio, but I talked to the guy running it extensively and he said he will show me everything and not too worry. I know both the models are professional and have done tons of shoots. I'm a bit worried about not being able to direct things. It will be fun to finally learning lighting and see what shooting in a studio is all about though.

I'm actually a fan of one of the models I'll be shooting. I've always loved the sets she's done so it will be fun to meet and work with her.
