:-) !! I think you might say something similar about landscape or street shooting if you were only allowed to shoot what the teacher positioned you in front of and pointed you at. Especially if you only got to shoot after a dozen other more junior students went first. I have only attended workshops with no more than 3 students and a teacher/mentor and really enjoyed them for the intimate dynamic. Although in one case I was the obvious slow newbie and that was likely inhibiting to the other two attendees. :-) It's so much different when you call the shots yourself. If you direct the model, position the lights and take the shot, you get complete feedback. If you're at all like me, you are happier when you are in control. Or at least feel like you are. I like to have a hand in choosing wardrobe and even the models. If you ever get a chance, plan a small shoot with a friend who will play model and learn on your own. It will teach you a lot more. I'm not saying workshops aren't good -- they are great -- but some people aren't cut out for learning in large groups. I know I'm not. > Thanks for making me examine what happened; it was useful to me and I hope > informative to you.
