It was a very good idea to attend the ANTI-workshop in Vegas this year. Boutwells and Coopers are great people, talented photographers, and helpful teachers. They did such a good job. The workshop was fun, interesting, and educational. They shared with us their knowledge and experience, and gave us a lot of good advice. They supported their talk with their pictures, so we could easily see what they were talking about and how certain things work for them. They all approach photography differently and have different styles so we had an opportunity to see different ways of photographing similar events, like weddings for example. They uncouraged us to choose our own way of capturing world and to not be afraid of being different from others. Thank you Chenin, Doug, Dalisa and John for showing us your passion and love for photography and for all the inspiration.I also met a lot of talented photographers. You were all so nice and friendly! I wish I wasn’t so shy and I could get to know you better. I hope our paths cross again one day.What I liked a lot about the workshop is that we had an opportunity to shoot with other photographers and talk about the pictures we took. It was fun.
Here are some pictures of Lauren from the second day of shooting:
Thank you Lauren for being patient with us:-)
On the last day we were watching Chenin, Doug and John shooting at the Boneyard – it’s a graveyard for old neons. Great place for pictures! We were all trying to get some nice shots of Lauren and Bryan, also.

Josh Solar - I’m loving the first shot on here, and the one of Eliesa and Judd where he’s kissing her. Awesome stuff!
It was awesome meeting you, and I wish we had more time to chat. I’m sure we’ll see each other one day:)
John LaVere - Every week you show something totally new. I can’t wait to see where you go from here.
Greg Bumatay - These are all lovely images! I love the 2nd shot of Lauren – great composition and design. I also love the second to last shot of Eliesa and Judd on the walkway – awesome use of leading lines! Great meeting you at the workshop and I’m looking forward to seeing more of your work.
