A couple of months ago I got to teach a class and do a live shoot for 600 people at The Portrait Masters conference hosted by Sue Bryce (a photography ICON). It was one of the most nerve racking things I’ve ever done considering I’ve never shot in studio with strobes and zero natural light. Also add the fact in that I was on a stage with a Britney Spears mic hooked up in front of 600 people and being recorded and projected onto two huge screens. My ~anxiety~ levels were so high I considered pulling my name from the speaker list because it felt like a nightmare coming true.
