Bonjour tout le monde!

Just a few quick post to share the fun we had in Paris.  I think i speak for Victor when I say it was a pleasure to meet and share information with our new friends in France!  A very casual affair with lots of shooting, chatting and enjoying Paris.  With a last minute schedule conflict, i realized the only way i make it happen was arrive in Paris on the day of the event at 8:30am and start teaching at noon.  I just made it after and was giddy on the travel and new location which i think always helps!

Thanks to all the attendees, models/subjects, cafes, hotel, Victor, Kimberly at Parisian Events, http://www.parisianevents.com/

A few quick ones of Tyson et Carline!

Ok, its true, myself and Victor Sizemore, both lovers of Paris, have decided to team up and spend some time shooting one of the most beautiful backdrops for the aspiring and inspired photographer alike.  We are so excited about the potential of a late September Paris get-together that we want to see who else is interested!?  Would you like to come along and experience what we believe a unique and creative approach to the wedding photography workshop.  A 2 and a half day, casual affair that will among other things, get  creative juices flowing and flat out challenge your photography skills to live and breathe the passion in your art.  Time spent includes cocktail hours, a day of city shooting assignments and challenges, a day of wedding photography in class and around some of the sites of Paris and a possible third day of wedding fashion shooting though out Paris.

Sound fun?  Of coarse it does!  Just say Oui and join us in Paris.  Date to be decided for late September.  Limited seats, reserve your spot, please email either Jay Reilly or Victor Sizemore.

For more information on Victor's fantastic photography, please visit: http://www.vcsphoto.com/
