Well it's actually a Sugar Skull Kids photo shoot workshop. We have some of the best makeup artists in Houston coming to work on the kids for two hours and then we will shoot them for the next two hours.

Gearing down after the Workshop

Gearing down after the Workshop

Yesterday’s workshop for the WOW3 was just smooth and amazing. We have about forty of us. The Makeup Artists out did themselves. We had a few new MUA’s come out and work on some detailed Beauty finishes on the models that came. We usually give the makeup artist two hours in advance before each workshop but we could only get in at 6am and they could board the ship at 7am. The 5 makeup artists did their best to knock out the models by then and ran a little over 7:30 by the time they finished up their last model. The photographers were all set up by then and ready to shoot. The ship alone is just breath-taking and you add models, is like adding water. Lol

We had a guest Pro-Wedding Photographer / Pro Instructor come to model on the other side of the camera for us. He was a trooper with instructing the models in some amazing photos to add to your portfolio.

Now photos from this event are being posted on this link.

Here is a photo by Photographer Kris Cox of the Elissa Ship in Galveston, where we had the WOW3 (White Outdoor Wedding)3 Photography/Modeling workshop this past weekend.


I think everyone enjoyed the Urban Trash the Dress in the back alleys of the Strand in Galveston after we got off the Ship.

Now we are scan model releases and starting the photo processing from this event. Photos from us will be posted soon. To learn more about these workshop, look at the next seven workshops we have listed on the front page of www.ThePhotoBinder.com
