Ritz Carlton & Tearsheet Workshop

The ladies from the Ritz Carlton Salons in Sarasota and Orlando did a hands workshop with Tearsheet team editorial hair stylist Giovanni Guintalo.  Kristen, from Novella Style Group created some of the looks with wardrobe and accessories and the wedding gows were from The Perfect Dress. Giovanni is a trensetter in the fashion week and bridal arena, he gets to work with some of my favorites like Badgley Mischka, Kenneth Pool, and Christos.  I love anything fashion related, it helps me to be more creative and look for interesting ways to pose and use lighting.  The stylists did 2 different looks on each of 4 models over two days while I captured those looks in different locations, with different lighting, and lots of different poses and movement.  The Ritz Carlton Beach club is one of my favorite properties to photograph weddings in, and that was where we did everything.  It was nice to have time to play with different lighting situations and things I don't usually have time to do like with reflectors and using off camera flash in a totally different way.  Here's some of my favorites and some of the stylists hard at work as well.........
