Hi Cypress!

What's up fellow photogs. First off, let me introduce myself. My name is Ari. I hail from Stockton, Ca. I attended UC Davis for 5 years, majoring in international relations and minor in Asian American studies. My favorite color is brown. I'm a Virgo. I like long walks on the beach. lol, jk. I recently moved to SoCal to expand my network for new clients and awesome photographers. I've been shooting since high school (about 6 years ago),but then I got serious in 2006 when I got my business license in Davis, CA. I started out doing events and portraits but eventually found a love for wedding photography. I've been shooting weddings for about a year now, covering about 50+ weddings as the 2nd and main photographer. I'm going to use this blog to post up my class assignments, but please feel free to visit my main blog: www.studio239.blogspot.com. Don't be afraid to leave a comment or say hi! I'm also on Facebook if you want to be my friend.

So today after class Greg did a mini workshop with those who wanted get more in depth with what we learn today ( shooting in manual mode). I highly recommend that you stay for these after class sessions because Greg spills some invaluable tips and advice.

I got the chance to finish my assignment today using our classmate Sabrina as my model. Check her out!
