A Day With Meg Bitton- Behind the Scenes Workshop
Every photographer has a dream photographer that they look up to and want to meet one day. Usually, this person is one with years of experience and has taken the world by storm. One with a reputation to teach and make their students better than they were before. That one photographer for me was Meg Bitton. Ever since I got into photography and her work mesmerized me through the screen, I instantly fell in love with her soft and elegant style. It truly spoke to me. I looked at her work and said... I MUST learn from her one day.Last year, was tremendous growing pains for me. I worked hard to where I am today.
