This past weekend I was invited over to Detroit’s Eastern Market to challenge my photography skills and my ability to stay warm. Retha Fox (from Moments Captured by Retha) was gracious enough to let me tag along with her and Jean Mathewson for an afternoon of shooting. Retha coordinated two beautiful faces for the photo shoot, Joey and Gina, who were such good sports to weather the bitter cold for us!
I’ll be honest, I felt like a fish out of water. Both Retha and Jean are pros, so I was the rookie on the team. Plus, most of the photography I’ve done has been candid, due to the fact it usually involves children running around. So working with models was a stretch for me. Lucky for me though, Joey and Gina were easy going and a pleasure to work with. After watching Retha jump in and make a few shots happen I found enough courage to make a few of my own.
I had such a great time shooting this weekend that I’m going to organize something similar on the west side of the state for late February. If you’re interested, please let me know!
