Back in April, I taught at a photography conference, and spoke about weddings. As part of the class, we had models and I gave the attendees a chance to work with them to get a little experience and to build their portfolio. Friday, we didn’t have a male model, and the skies were threatening to break loose, so we played with a bride and an umbrella in a field.
That night, one of the attendees, Sam Clausen, waved me over and showed me the following image on his laptop, and I was blown away! I was even more surprised to find out that he was still in high school, getting ready to graduate. This kid has more talent at 17 than a lot of experienced pros that I know!
I wanted to share Sam’s image with you, as well as his testimonial from the class.
“I’ve had my eye on wedding photography for a while but it was a big step for me. Wendi’s wedding seminar was by far the best opportunity for me to get started. I had tons of fun and learned a ton not only about wedding photography but also what I was actually capable of. Thanks Wendi!!”
Sam, thank you for the kind words! I cannot wait to see you grow over the coming years. Good luck at Pittsburgh State this fall! See you in Tulsa in April?.
