For some reason, I’ve hosted several Aspiring Photographer Workshops (APW) in Indianapolis, IN since 2014! From Kathryn & Logan, to Ashley & Bryce to Katie & Renick, Indy always provides me with the best couples and the most incredible locations! Bailey and Isaiah were the latest awesome couple to model for me. Even though torrential storms were pummeling Downtown Indy immediately before we started, Bailey and Isaiah never wavered and were up for anything!
Bailey and Isaiah are completely natural together. Isaiah makes Bailey laugh in the only way a new relationship can. You know that feeling when everything is just beginning and you swoon every time you are together? Well, the incredible energy and emotion from these two are phenomenal!
The photographers and I shot all around the beautiful Central Library area in Downtown Indy. I showed how I typically photograph one of my Attraction Sessions. Throughout the APW, the photographers had the opportunity to pose/shoot the couple, listen to how I interact/pose the couple and ask questions of why I do what I do. Afterwards, we headed over to MacNiven’s Restaurant for delicious food, drinks and to critique each other’s photos!
True confession: at every APW, I learn something new. This time, I learned the importance of walking around a pose to make sure I’m using the light in the best way. Instead of being so steadfast about what I have in mind, I need to be better about being open to more options.
Thank you to all of the participants who attended! I hope you were able to learn something and that this APW was helpful in your photography journey!

I absolutely love teaching. My background is in education and I am grateful that I have the opportunity to share my photography experience with photographers of all skill levels. The reason I started hosting free Aspiring Photographer Workshops back in 2008 was to give back to all the photographers who helped me get started as well as to help grow the photography community.
If you are interested in future FREE La Brisa APWs, please request to join my private group on facebook, HERE and send a FB message to me so that I can send you the rules of the group – www.facebook.com/christopherhsieh. APWs are Aspiring Photographer Workshops for photographers of any skill level/experience that I host as a way to give back to the photography community. Two rules of the group: 1) be kind. negative/unhelpful comments will be deleted. 2) be willing to share resources/experience/etc with everyone else!
