Blogher 10 Photography ROYO: How to Take Great Pictures, Whether You Have a DSLR or Point-and-Shoot
One of the things I was hugely excited about this year at the conference was being on a panel of photographers presenting a ROYO (“Room of Your Own” Session) about how to take great photos. Rachel and Mishelle are both amazing artists in their trade and I was so honored to be there with them. Beside the fact that they are both huge inspirations to me, I absolutely adore both of these women on a very personal level too. What a gift to connect with them for this event!
We worked hard for weeks to get our presentation just right, hoping we could fit the best information into the time and medium allotted. I’ll leave it to you all to decide if we were truly successful, but I have to tell you that it felt right and I got a sense that it went very well. (Squee.)
Here you will find the slideshow we used during our presentation, as well as the audio from the actual session right below it. You can listen and go along with the presentation. You’re only missing seeing us sit behind a desk full of wires and cameras and laptops, with microphones pinned to our bewbie areas. (Also, if anyone tries to pass on a rumor that I picked my nose during the presentation, that is a lie. I repeat, a filthy lie.)
I hope you enjoy! And if you have any questions, feel free to hit me up.

One comment and one question unrelated to your actual post: It’s been a while since I clicked through my reader and I like the blog layout! Also, what hair products do you use? I love your hair and my wavy/curly never looks that good!

I actually *just* unleashed this new design last night.
Thank you! I’m in love with it.
I’ve used different things over time, but for the past 8 months or so, I’ve been using John Frieda products. Specifically, I’ve used:
Strength Restoring Shampoo
Nourishing Moisture Conditioner
Frizz-Ease Curl Booster Mousse
Frizz-Ease Dream Curls Spray
And the last time my stylist cut my hair, she used a Moroccanoil Product on my hair, and I fell in love with the smell and the feel of it, so I’m planning on switching things up a bit, possibly.

This is sooooo awesome. My picture taking skills blow and I’m really hoping this will help. THANK YOU!!!

I hope you find it helpful! Your photography skills will improve the more you practice. I can see a HUGE difference between the photos I took a couple years ago and those that I take now.
Have fun!
