Laura Burlton Photography

On January 10-11th this year we ( D. Jones Photography and I ) hosted a workshop or " Fershop" put on by the fabulous Fer Juaristi all the way from Monterrey, Mexico.I have known Fer for a while from an online wedding photographer forum that I am admin for.

Fer had lots of really useful advice on how to shoot in "bad" lighting conditions or locations that might not be optimal. It was actually quite awesome and a whole lot of fun.

Our models for the day(s) were Sarah and Adam from In Tandem photography out of Austin.

in any case, here are the fruits of my labor from the workshop :)

If you are ever looking for inspiration of the highestorder and want a little Fer in your life, I highly suggest doing a Fershop.

This is Fer telling us to talk while keeping the viewfinder to our eye, as not to miss anything " smile click click click"

This is Mirna, A local photographer who was also doing the workshop with her sister. We were asked to take a partner whom we did not know, ot for some photos of each other, just to get an idea what it was like to have your own photo taken.

Also, this is all in camera.

Fer is all about creating what he calls "Visual Bonners" ( yes, he spells it like that. It works with the accent, trust me. Besides a "bonner" is maybe much more classy than a boner. Just saying.

Fer snuggling with the couple. Who says a photographer can't get in on the romance :)

Oh I have been creating so many things recently, I just was not sure if I wanted to show them yet. Thought I might keep a little to myself for just a little while. In any case, I could not hold everything in much longer...so I thought, ok, I can show just one thing I have been working on...right?

This is a photo I made of Sadie. I also made the antlers out of paper mache as well as drawing the simple background. Did the makeup too.

I love making these little worlds.

Oh and this is blue because it is a cyanotype. I hand coated the paper myself.

Maybe I will show you more later.....

Just a quickie from an impromtu session with my eldest daughter. Isn't she a pretty one?

I actually have quite a bit more film to scan. I found a couple of rolls of film I shot over the past few months ( even some holga wedding photos I forgot I had taken!)

More later!

Oh, when this summer started out I envisioned lots of shooting with my beloved film cameras. I had ideas indeed. I was going to continue a fine art project, or document my kids lives just artfully so....but then it became just a bit to hot and me, and my film cameras and kids stayed indoors. So this fall, I resolve to get out there and shoot some more. Well, at least once the rain comes again and the temperatures drop below 100 degrees (or really 90, truth be told)

I did actually manage to take a few film photos this summer. Most of these were in and around Galveston, Surfside, Austin and Dropping Springs. We also made a trip to Destin Florida and New Orleans, but for the most part I documneted that on my phone and a few on the "big camera"

In any case, enjoy looking. More later. I will try not to be a stranger.

This one was taken with my beloved Bronica film camera. Kodak Portra film

And of course this one and a few others were taken with with one of my holgas.

This was taken with a diana mini.

This is holga again and the guy was from the Band the Way Much, from Santa Barbara. They played a concert on my friends parents property out in Dripping Springs. We all played in the pool before hand. It is an awesome pool.

You see, I did start summer off with good intentions.
