deise films not dead miami
A little over a year ago I took Jonathan Canlas’s Film’s Not Dead Workshop. I can honestly say that was one of the best learning experiences. Jonathan Canlas is a true mentor and someone I respect and admire. With that said, you can imagine I went bananas when he announced he would be hosting a FIND workshop in my hometown!
These images of Desie and Gill, (fellow amazing photographer’s here in miami)and one of the many models who posed in Jonathan’s workshop, are a few frames I was able to capture on the final day of shooting cause I was to busy modeling. (yep you read that right, me modeling) Just want to take a moment to say thank you to all the models who came out, and to express how truly grateful and honored I am to have spent four days hanging with Jonathan, (Utah aka Tim Tebow aka Joesph Amundsen, Catherine Abegg, Dustin the mad man Francis) and all the amazing photographers from throughout the U.S. who attended FIND Miami. Randy Kahn, Jacquelyn Poussot,Ken Bruggeman,Shipra Panosian,Kristen Wood,Bunn Salarzon,Matthew DeJesus, Eliane Palladino. You guys are all beyond awesome and inspired the heck out of me :)
