As a photographer, sometimes you need to work on things outside of your normal day-to-day life and this project is going to help us (and you) challenge, grow and creatively develop your photography as a whole. Weekly for the next year, we will be creating images and we call it 52 Weeks of Awesomeness (52WoA)!
Here are our Week 10 – “GIFTS” images!
SARAH: This year my husband received a snowboard for Christmas, which sparked a new Christmas tradition. We spent Christmas day driving two hours north so he could put his new gift to use. Oh the things you do for the one you love!
… and yes, I made him do several jumps for this particular shot.
AUTUMN: Christmas is my favorite holiday– I love everything about the entire season. including finding gifts that bring joy and purpose into other’s hearts. I owe a special thanks to Chris Hsieh and B Mussack for doing this shoot of my family so I could make this timeless print for my parents to hang in their house. I love my parents! they’re literally the greatest.
For those of you interested in participating, PLEASE join us! The more the merrier! You definitely do not need to be a professional photographer, this is something you can easily do with your point and shoot, cell phone, ipad, etc. You can comment with a link to your image here on our blog or on our La Brisa fan page or you can tag La Brisa Photography in your image on your own FB page or use the hashtag #52WoA on twitter and/or instagram that way we can share your efforts with everyone else! If you are interested in joining our La Brisa Aspiring Photographer Workshop group on FB, please request to join as we will also be sharing our images there too.
