I had the opportunity in 2010 to take a Stanford Continuing Studies class on portraiture with Oakland-based photographer Elizabeth Opalenik. Shortly after the class ended, she invited students to sign up for a one-day workshop with a favorite model. We worked in Elizabeth's studio in the morning, using a combination of natural and artificial lighting, and after lunch we shot outdoors in a friend's yard where a lush setting of ferns and spa created magical effects as the natural light waned all too quickly on a December afternoon.
