Day/Night lighting at Bald Head Island

February 26, 2008 – 9:05 pm


This image was shot with off-camera lighting in full sunlight with the model’s head lined up to directly block the sun. It is called “Day/Night” and I think it creates quite a dramatic image.

Love Affair Day 1 Shoot

February 25, 2008 – 11:11 pm

These are some shots I got at our first shoot on Day 1 of the workshop. All the models were so great to work with and I really enjoyed the shooting in the locations chosen for the day. Enjoy! –Sally

I love the warm light in this shot.
I loved working with this model. She had the best red shoes (see below).




This was shot using a video light in the bathroom.

Using the same video light we went into the kitchen and shot the model in a bread cart creating beautiful and dramatic shadows.

The video light battery was dying and I grabbed this shot just before it went out completely.

More Bald Head Island

February 24, 2008 – 10:18 pm

Here are a few more images of Bald Head Island. These were taken on our final full day on the island. It was a rainy, gray day so the colors were so moody. These images were shot at Captain Charlie’s cabins. They were the original cabins on the island named after the lighthouse keeper. They were so charming. Supposedly J. Crew and Land’s End shoots some of their catalog work on the island and this is where the crew and models stay. Shannon Montez (seated below) was one of the lucky ones who stayed in this cabin. (Isn’t this island gorgeous?)


This is an image I took of Shannon that I love.

This is Karyn Kayle, a fellow DC photographer that I finally met in person at the workshop.

The cameras have turned….

February 24, 2008 – 7:33 pm

We all had the chance to experience life on the other side of the camera at the workshop last week. Kelly Moore and Lauren Clark took the images below using some really cool off-camera lighting techniques. More Love Affair images to come….

Greetings from Bald Head Island

February 18, 2008 – 12:44 pm
Just a few quick photos from the first day here at Love Affair Workshop.
Some of the beautiful beach scenery

The house where I am staying
Another beach view
These robes were left on each of the attendees beds to “make our stay warm and cozy.”  The ladies have really thought of so many details and I can tell they have put so much time and effort into this conference.  I can’t wait to see what else is in store.  –Sally

Heading out

February 16, 2008 – 10:07 am

Today I’m getting ready to leave for my trip to North Carolina for the Love Affair Workshop for women. I can’t tell you how much I am looking forward to this experience. Cell phone service and internet access will be spotty so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to blog until I get back. I will try to check voicemails when I can. Have a great week! –Sally

Here are the four photographers leading the workshop: Davina Fear, Kelly Moore, Millie Holloman, and Lauren Clark
