Don’t get me wrong – the technical stuff is important.  I was exposed to  the world of off camera lighting, advance composition, and the business side of photography.  I also received the opportunity to shoot different types of photography that I would have never explored on my own.  However, the most important lesson for me was the journey itself and the people you meet along the way.  It is about connecting to people and making them feel comfortable in front of the camera.  It’s about capturing natural moments that you can’t create in a pose. 

It became all about the relationships between people and documenting the moments that matter the most.  And of course, having lots of fun along the way.

Thank you Leah and Mark for lessons in photography life.
