On Wednesday afternoons I teach a photography class at my studio for the Hope Stone Center. My  students are between the ages of 12-17. Today they learned a little about studio lighting with Anastasia as their model. I showed them a few simple one light set ups and they learned about using a reflector.

These next shots were taken by the students themselves and I think they're awesome! I had a little fun with them in Photoshop. Next week they are going to separate into two groups and come up with an idea for a portrait and choose wardrobe. I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with!

Give my students a big round of applause! I think they're looking forward to next week. Would you like to see more of their work? Check out our Hope Stone Flickr group.
