Lacey had an amazing time at this year’s Snapshot the Conference in SLO this month. I asked her some questions about her experience and wanted to share with you all!

What made you choose to teach at Snapshot 2023?

Snapshot is truly a boutique experience. Some conferences are so large you don't get a chance to connect with people and as an instructor I love being able to give access to the attendees as much as possible. Not only that, Snapshot stands out due to the locations they source for their shootouts and the unique perspectives from the instructors.

2. What courses did you facilitate?

This year, my class was called "Understanding Light". We went over everything from natural lighting techniques to on-location and in-studio lighting. In the evenings attendees were able to learn beginning and advanced techniques with hands-on learning.

3. Which location turned out to be your favorite from the conference?

The first spot was absolutely stunning AND versatile. Although each location was incredible.

4. What was your favorite moment of the conference?

At the end of the conference, there were a few attendees who came up to me and told me they had "lightbulb moments" and that they felt like I made an intimidating thing seem far more accessible and that makes ALL the difference as a teacher. I was so grateful for that.

5. Was there anything you'd do differently if you got to do the conference again?

I would love to get down there earlier to just take in more of the area. This was my 3rd year at Snapshot and every year I wish I spent more time in SLO area.

6. Anything you'd like to be included in the blog post about you and your experience?

Snapshot is back next SEPT you can use code LACEY100 for $100 off your early access ticket!
