Last week Justin and I had a BLAST with all of our LYON-SHOP attendees at The Shade Hotel in Manhattan Beach, California! This was a fun group and the day went by so fast with so much to say, teach, show, and shoot! At the end of the day we felt super grateful to everyone who took time out of their busy lives to come and learn from us. We hope that those in attendance were able to take back something from our LYON-SHOP to better their photography business/techniques and ultimately become successful!

Before I show the recap, we are holding another LYON-SHOP (Part Quatre!) in Las Vegas on March 6th, just before the big WPPI Convention and we STILL HAVE A SMALL AMOUNT OF  SEATS AVAILABLE!!! So if you are wanting to attend, hop on it fast and email amelia@amelialyon.com asap and I'll let you know how you can go about reserving your seat for that day!

The Shade Hotel was very accommodating and it was the perfect place for us to hold our group.

*Thank you to the lovely Jenn & handsome Will for being our models that day!

The second shoot was definitely my favorite part of the day. We demonstrated how to capture lens-flare, off camera lighting, multiply off camera lighting set ups, reviewed camera settings, and more posing.

amelia, i would love to know what lens you use to get super duper close to your couples.... i.e. the ahhhmazing black & white shot (#4 from the top). i find that my 50 1.2 doesn't always get as close as i'd like. :)

amelialyon said:
Mary, that photo was most likely shot with the 35mm 1.4...it's a fabulous lens and you'd be surprised at how close you can get to your subject with it!

We're super duper excited to be announcing this next LYON-SHOP because we'll be doing it LAS VEGAS style! We weren't planning on announcing this one until January, but changed our minds after receiving numerous emails from interested parties that would like to purchase seats to give away as Christmas gifts. So here we are!

Join us as we set up shop on the infamous Las Vegas Boulevard - aka The Strip! The LYON-SHOP, Part QUATRE is set to take place on March 6th of 2010, just before the tradeshow of all tradeshows - WPPI. WPPI is the must attend event for Wedding and Portrait photographers, which is being held on March 4th-11th, with the tradeshow portion taking place March 8th-10th. This is a perfect way to amplify and expand the information, knowledge, learning and fun times that you'll have there this year!
