Learning from Michelle Moore about photography and modeling was a great experience! To start off the day we asked her some questions about how she got started in the Photography industry and what she did to be where she is today. She taught us about lighting and how that fits with why a great location is most optimal when photographing a model; what time of day is best and so on. Next, we had our hair and make-up done by Jamyrlyn— one of Seattle’s top make-up artists. The clothing stylist, Sherri, delivered our first look for the modeling shoot. We were then whisked off to the location for the day’s shoot with our second look in hand. As Michelle took our photos, she also instructed us on how to adjust the settings to get the perfect picture, how to read the light for the best lighting on the face of the model, and how to pose. After an afternoon of learning about photography, being treated like top models, changing and posing we were finished. Thanks to Michelle and her assistant Katy Lee, we had so much fun and will value all that we learned! Now we are going to share it with others.
