Lara Jade Workshop: Day 1

I was so blessed to have the opportunity to partake in the lighting workshop of the incredibly talented Lara Jade. I came across Lara's work many years ago, which is crazy because she is only 21! Yes, she is THAT good. What first intrigued me about her work were her stunning self portraits. She actually inspired me in my own self portrait (with the scarf, which most of you are familiar with). Lara is a London based fashion photographer recently relocated to NYC. Her talent and unbelievable beauty and charm have paved a way for her to go down in history as one of the best. It was so awesome to have my first workshop with someone who has inspired me for years. And best of all, though others traveled from around the world, we got to welcome her on our little island of Maui.

A huge thank you to Matthew Alvarado for coordinating the event, Stephanie Sheveland for the use of her studio, Make-up artist Kahulani Davis, fashion producer Polly Cocilobo and models Uilani Davis & Brittney Baker.

Thank you Lara for an amazing opportunity!
