The photos in these galleries were taken at the recent June '08 Los Angeles "Awe" workshop with acclaimed photographer Manuel Libres Librodo, Jr.

18 accomplished and aspiring photographers were on hand for this inspiring workshop with one of the most popular photographers on PBase. Manny's workshop was quite a revelation as I personally learned quite a bit about composition and about Manny's methods for "finding" that pure natural light that make all of his photos so remarkable.

Check out Manny's own PBase site at www.pbase.com/manny_librodo to view his stunning images and to find out when and where his next workshop might take place.

A special thanks to all of the fantastic models that remained so well composed (even in that 100+ degree LA heat)and also to Jesus Salvo for organizing the LA event.
